Quote

Trees there were, old as trees can be, huge and grasping with hearts black as sin. Strange trees that some said walked in the night.

Set your fantasies in the here and now and then, if challenged, claim to be writing Magical Realism.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Genre fiction, as Terry Pratchett has pointed out, is a stew. You take stuff out of the pot, you put stuff back. The stew bubbles on.

It's just harder out there in the world of the living, and we cannot protect you out there as easily. I wanted to keep you perfectly safe...But there is only one perfectly safe place for your kind, and you will not reach it until all your adventures are over and none of them matter any longer.
Neil Gaiman

In my dream, it was the tongue of what is, and anything spoken in it becomes real, because nothing said in that language can be a lie. It is the most basic building brick of everything.

The young woman was crying, in the way that grownups cry, keeping it inside as much as they can, and hating it when it still pushes out at the edges, making them ugly and funny-looking on the way.

Never trust a demon. He has a hundred motives for anything he does... ninety-nine of them, at least, are malevolent.

Like the newspapers used to say, if the truth isn't big enough, you print the legend.

I went away in my head, into a book. That was where I went whenever real life was too hard or too inflexible.

For some, it was easier to take the leap from the leafless tree and dance on nothing until dancing was done.

Adult helplessness destroys children. Or it forces them to become tiny adults of their own.

The world seemed to shimmer a little at the edges.

My guiltiest pleasure is Harry Stephen Keeler. He may have been the greatest bad writer America has ever produced. Or perhaps the worst great writer. I do not know. There are few faults you can accuse him of that he is not guilty of. But I love him.

I already killed you once today, what does it take to teach some people?

I noticed a long time ago that the Universe rewards belief systems. It doesn't really matter what you believe - it'll be there and waiting for you if you go and look for it. Decide the universe is, say, run by secret enormous teddy bears, and I can guarantee you'll immediately start running across evidence that this is true.

Of course, everyone's parents are embarrassing. It goes with the territory. The nature of parents is to embarrass merely by existing, just as it is the nature of children of a certain age to cringe with embarrassment, shame, and mortification should their parents so much as speak to them on the street.

There are people who think that things that happen in fiction do not really happen. These people are wrong.
Neil Gaiman

None of us exist in a world that is the same world that any of the rest of us live in. The world that's important is the world behind each of our eyes, which is something that none of the rest of us can access.

May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness.
