More quotes by Neil Gaiman
It's certainly not too late to change to the winning side. But you know, you also have the freedom to stay just where you are. That's what it means to be an American. That's the miracle of America. Freedom to believe means the freedom to believe the wrong thing, after all. Just as freedom of speech gives you the right to stay silent.
Neil Gaiman
Stories are made up by people who make them up. If they work, they get retold. There's the magic of it.
Neil Gaiman
Really, he thought, if you couldn't trust a poet to offer sensible advice, who could you trust?
Neil Gaiman
Even dreams, the most delicate and intangible of things, can prove remarkable difficult to kill.
Neil Gaiman
You see, the outcome of the battle is unimportant. What matters is the chaos, and the slaughter.
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
When I was very young, I would occasionally stick 'f****' where I knew something contentious might happen so that the editor could remove the word 'f***' very proudly and leave whatever else was around it.
Neil Gaiman
The tongue is the most remarkable. For we use it both to taste out sweet wine and bitter poison, thus also do we utter words both sweet and sout with the same tongue.
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
He stared down at the golden curls of the Adversary, Destroyer of Kings, Angel of the Bottomless Pit, Great Beast that is called Dragon, Prince of This World, Father of Lies, Spawn of Satan, and Lord of Darkness. You know, he concluded, after a while, I think he actually looks like an Adam.
Neil Gaiman
And so there is magic.
Neil Gaiman
I started out writing much more science fictiony stuff and writing about science fiction.
Neil Gaiman
Until that moment she had never thought she could do it. Never thought she would be brave enough or scared enough, or desperate enough to dare.
Neil Gaiman
And he waited. It was only for a few seconds, but it felt like a small forever.
Neil Gaiman
Trust dreams. Trust your heart, and trust your story.
Neil Gaiman
Jesus. Low-Key Lyesmith, said Shadow. and then he heard what he was saying and he understood. Loki, he said. Loki Lie-smith. You're slow, said Loki, but you get there in the end. And his lips twisted into a scarred smile and the embers danced in the shadows of his eyes.
Neil Gaiman
When I was a kid, we actually lived in a house that had been divided in two at one point, which meant that one room in our house opened up onto a brick wall. And I was convinced all I had to do was just open it the right way and it wouldn't be a brick wall. So I'd sidle over to the door and I'd pull it open.
Neil Gaiman
When I was young, I was reading anything and anything I could lay my hands on. I was a veracious-to-the-point-of-insane reader.
Neil Gaiman
Birds are the last of the dinosaurs. Tiny velociraptors with wings. Devouring defenseless wiggly things and, and nuts, and fish, and, and other birds. They get the early worms. And have you ever watched a chicken eat? They may look innocent, but birds are, well, they're vicious.
Neil Gaiman
You must have a bladder like Lake Erie. I think empires rose and fell in the time it took you to pee. I could hear it the whole time. Thank you. Do you want something?
Neil Gaiman
