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.

More quotes by Neil Gaiman
Life is sometimes hard. Things go wrong, in life and in love and in business and in friendship and in health and in all other ways that life can go wrong. And when things get tough, this is what you should do. Make good art.
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
There are little pockets of old time in London, where things and places stay the same, like bubble in amber.
Neil Gaiman
Somebody said that writers are like otters... Otters, if they do a trick and you give them a fish, the next time they'll do a better trick or a different trick because they'd already done that one. And writers tend to be otters. Most of us get pretty bored doing the same trick. We've done it, so let's do something different.

I thought about moving south, about continuing to run, continuing to pretend I was alive. But it was, I knew now, much too late for that. There are doors, after all, between the living and the dead, and they swing in both directions.
Neil Gaiman
There are some as are what they are. And there are some as aren't what they seem to be. And there are some as only seem to be what they seem to be.
Neil Gaiman
I realized the other day that about the only author I genuinely read for pure pleasure is one of the worst authors in the world, a guy called Harry Stephen Keeler, a long dead American mystery writer. He was probably the greatest bad writer America ever produced.
Neil Gaiman
Some of us claim that he was a messiah, and some think that he was just a man with very special powers. But that misses the point. Whatever he was, he changed the world.
Neil Gaiman
The best thing about doing a signing tour is that numbers become faces. I got to sign books for six or seven thousand people, all of whom were dreadfully nice. Everything else, the interviews, the hotels, the plane travel, the best-seller lists, even the sushi, gets old awfully fast. Well, maybe not the sushi.
Neil Gaiman
I am not by nature the kind of creator who is transgressive in order to be transgressive.
Neil Gaiman
I think there should be an Occupy Gallifrey. Because 0.000001% of the people have 99.99999% of the Time.
Neil Gaiman
Books make great gifts because they have whole worlds inside of them.
Neil Gaiman
We save our lives in such unlikely ways.
Neil Gaiman
Now you people have names. That's because you don't know who you are. We know who we are, so we don't need names.
Neil Gaiman
Give me boredom. At least I know where I'm going to eat and sleep tonight.
Neil Gaiman
Remember that, sooner or later, before it ever reaches perfection, you will have to let it go and move on and start to write the next thing. Perfection is like chasing the horizon. Keep moving.
Neil Gaiman
My theory on genre is that while there are people out there who believe that genre tells people what to read, actually I believe that genre exists as a marketing tool to tell you what to avoid.
Neil Gaiman
Not only are there no happy endings,' she told him, 'there aren't even any endings.
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
If you have something specific and visible to fear, rather than something that could be anything, it is easier.
Neil Gaiman
