More quotes by Neil Gaiman
Life - and I don't suppose I'm the first to make this comparison - is a disease: sexually transmitted, and invariably fatal.
Neil Gaiman
Joy and sorrow are like milk and cookies. That's how well they go together.
Neil Gaiman
Children's fiction is the most important fiction of all.
Neil Gaiman
You know that I love you. And despite herself, Coraline nodded. It was true. The other mother loved her. But she loved Coraline as a miser loves money, or a dragon loves its gold. In the other mother's button eyes, Coraline knew that she was a possession, nothing more. A tolerated pet, whose behavior was no longer amusing.
Neil Gaiman
I think there should be an Occupy Gallifrey. Because 0.000001% of the people have 99.99999% of the Time.
Neil Gaiman
So, if a city has a personality, maybe it also has a soul. Maybe it dreams.
Neil Gaiman
They were having an argument as old and comfortable as an armchair, the kind of argument that no one ever really wins or loses but which can go on forever, if both parties are willing.
Neil Gaiman
The war had begun and nobody saw it. The storm was lowering and nobody knew it.
Neil Gaiman
It's always too late for sorries, but I appreciate the sentiment.
Neil Gaiman
I started writing when I was about 20, 21 maybe.
Neil Gaiman
Real life doesn't have to be convincing, but fiction does.
Neil Gaiman
But libraries are about freedom. Freedom to read, freedom of ideas, freedom of communication. They are about education (which is not a process that finishes the day we leave school or university), about entertainment, about making safe spaces, and about access to information.
Neil Gaiman
I was the kind of kid whose parents would drop him off at the local town library on their way to work, and I'd go and work my way through the children's area.
Neil Gaiman
The names are the first things to go, after the breath has gone, and the beating of the heart. We keep our memories longer than our names.
Neil Gaiman
You can take for granted that people know more or less what a street, a shop, a beach, a sky, an oak tree look like. Tell them what makes this one different.
Neil Gaiman
Everything he had ever done that had been better left undone. Every lie he had told — told to himself, or told to others. Every little hurt, and all the great hurts. Each one was pulled out of him, detail by detail, inch by inch. The demon stripped away the cover of forgetfulness, stripped everything down to truth, and it hurt more than anything.
Neil Gaiman
The future came and went in the mildly discouraging way that futures do.
Neil Gaiman
Nobody will ever hurt her. She’ll just smile her faint vague wonderful smile and walk away.
Neil Gaiman
It's a given that we exist in a world where we have to live in continuity every day no one is immune to that, in life or romance novels. By the same token, it's not something I find terribly important.
Neil Gaiman
You can't run away from home without destroying somebody's world.
