More quotes by Neil Gaiman
I had started to feel that somewhere in the second half of the 20th century, the idea of page-turning as a good thing had been lost. You were getting books that were the equivalent of absolutely beautifully prepared dishes of food that didn't taste like anything much.
Neil Gaiman
Anywhere that I can't check my email is a good place to write!
Neil Gaiman
Is there any person in the world who does not dream? Who does not contain within them worlds unimagined?
Neil Gaiman
There was Virginia Boote, the food and restaurant critic, who had once been a great beauty but was now a grand and magnificent ruin, and who delighted in her ruination.
Neil Gaiman
I want to write a play. I'd like to do an original musical. I should probably put together a poetry collection.
Neil Gaiman
I was the kind of person who knew what he wanted to do I wanted to write, I wanted not to be in school, and I felt that university would just be spending another four years of my life before I could write.
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
I guess it's just another one of life's little mysteries. I'm tired of mysteries. Yeah? I think they add a kind of zest to the world. Like salt in a stew.
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
Entropy and optimism: the twin forces that make the world go around.
Neil Gaiman
Note for Americans and other aliens: Milton Keynes is a new city approximately halfway between London and Birmingham. It was built to be modern, efficient, healthy, and, all in all, a pleasant place to live. Many Britons find this amusing.
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
As we age, we become our parents live long enough and we see faces repeat in time.
Neil Gaiman
Perhaps this is the ultimate freedom, eh, Dreamlord? The freedom to leave.
Neil Gaiman
So the day became one of waiting, which was, he knew, a sin: moments were to be experienced waiting was a sin against both the time that was still to come and the moments one was currently disregarding.
Neil Gaiman
I believe we have an obligation to read for pleasure, in private and in public places. If we read for pleasure, if others see us reading, then we learn, we exercise our imaginations. We show others that reading is a good thing.
Neil Gaiman
You made peace,” said the buffalo man. “You took our words and made them your own. They never understood that they were here—and the people who worshiped them were here—because it suits us that they are here. But we can change our minds. And perhaps we will.
Neil Gaiman
When you start off, you have to deal with the problems of failure. You need to be thickskinned, to learn that not every project will survive.
Neil Gaiman
On the whole, anything that gets you writing and keeps you writing is a good thing. Anything that stops you writing is a bad thing.
Neil Gaiman
To absent friends, lost loves, old gods, and the season of mists and may each and every one of us always give the devil his due.
Neil Gaiman
