Quote

The trouble with everything, these days, for me, is time. There is only one me. There are a ridiculous number of demands on my time. There are so many things I'm trying to do. It's so much more about when I'm going to get time to do it, if I get time.

You could fire a machine gun randomly through the pages of Lord of the Rings and never hit any women.

So, having found a lady, could you not have come to her aid, or left her alone? Why drag her into your foolishness?' 'Love,' he explained. She looked at him with eyes the blue of the sky. 'I hope you choke on it,' she said, flatly.

So I went out and bought myself a copy of the Writer and Artist Yearbook, bought lots of magazines and got on the phone and talked to editors about ideas for stories. Pretty soon I found myself hired to do interviews and articles and went off and did them.

Shadow had heard too many people telling each other not to repress their feelings, to let their emotions out, let the pain go. Shadow thought there was a lot to be said for bottling up emotions. If you did it long enough and deep enough, he suspected, pretty soon you wouldn't feel anything at all.

Whatever it takes to finish things, finish. You will learn more from a glorious failure than you ever will from something you never finished.

All bookshelves are magical.

Because there are mysteries. Because there are things that people are forbidden to speak about. Because there are things they do not remember.

I like 'pencil-necked weasel'. It has 'pencil' in it. Pencils are good things. You can draw or write things with pencils. I think it's what you call someone when you're worried that using a long word like 'intellectual' may have too many syllables. It's not something that people who have serious, important things to say call other people.

It doesn't matter that I can't remember the details any longer: death happened to her. Death happens to all of us.

Even if your goose habitually lays golden eggs, it will still be cooked.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I will be a wise and tolerant monarch, dispencing justice fairly, and only setting nightmares to rip out the winds of the evil and the wicked. Or just anybody that I don't like.

What power would Hell have if those imprisoned were not able to dream of Heaven?
Neil Gaiman
Image
That's the trouble with you young people. You think because you ain't been here long, you know everything. In my life I already forgot more than you ever know.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I remembered that, and, remembering that, I remembered everything.

Bod quite liked crows. He thought they were funny and he liked the way they helped to keep the graveyard tidy.

Image
I lay on the bed and lost myself in stories. I liked that. Books were safer than other people anyways.

Image
Every now and then I'll do little things, a short story or something, that doesn't have any fantastical elements, but mostly I like the power of playing God and I like to imagine things.
Neil Gaiman
Image
For some folks death is release, and for others death is an abomination, a terrible thing. But in the end, I'm there for all of them.

Tomorrow may be hell, but today was a good writing day, and on the good writing days nothing else matters.

I am amiable. Vague. Puzzled. Messy-haired.
