You can't trust other people. If it's important, you have to do it yourself.
Neil Gaiman
The only thing that kept me going was stories. Stories are hope. They take you out of yourself for a bit, and when you get dropped back in, you're different- you're stronger, you've seen more, you've felt more. Stories are like spiritual currency.
Neil Gaiman
I'm somebody who considers happiness a journey, not a destination.
Neil Gaiman
Like some kind of particularly tenacious vampire the short story refuses to die, and seems at this point in time to be a wonderful length for our generation.

Sometimes human beings are very much like bees. Bees are fiercely protective of their hive, provided you are outside it. Once you’re in, the workers sort of assume that it must have been cleared by management and take no notice various freeloading insects have evolved a mellifluous existence because of this very fact. Humans act the same way.

Neil Gaiman
We make choices. No one else can live our lives for us. And we must confront and accept the consequences of our actions.
Neil Gaiman
I love CGI if it's invisible. I don't like it when it's there and obvious.
Neil Gaiman
Someone killed my Mother and my Father and my Sister? Yes, someone did. A Man? A Man. Which means, said Bod, you're asking the wrong question. Silas raised an eyebrow. How so? Well, said Bod. If I go outside in the world, the question isn't who will keep me safe from him? No? No. It's who will keep him safe
Neil Gaiman
Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and adventures are the shadow truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes and forgotten.
Neil Gaiman
Things bloosom in their time. They bud and bloom, blossom and fade. Everything in its time.
Neil Gaiman
He was walking into Faerie, in search of a fallen star, with no idea how he would find the star, nor how to keep himself safe and whole as he tried. He looked back and fancied that he could see the lights of Wall behind him, wavering and glimmering as if in a heat-haze, but still inviting.
Neil Gaiman
What power would Hell have if those imprisoned were not able to dream of Heaven?
Neil Gaiman
Soon,” said the crackling voice of the flame, coming from behind him, “they will fall. Soon they will fall and the star people will meet the earth people. There will be heroes among them, and men who will slay monsters and bring knowledge, but none of them will be gods. This is a poor place for gods.
Neil Gaiman
