There's this thing, they have in french: L'espirit d'escalier. The spirit of the stairway. I don't think we have a word for it in English. It means, well, the clever things to say that you only think to yourself when you're on the way out.

You’re alive. That means you have infinite potential. You can do anything, make anything, dream anything.

Neil Gaiman
There are a lot of artists who've said they'd like to work with me. To be honest, I'm not sure there is such a thing as an inappropriate artist. The trick is matching the artist with a story.
Neil Gaiman
I believe that all men are just overgrown boys with deep problems communicating.
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
Set your fantasies in the here and now and then, if challenged, claim to be writing Magical Realism.
Neil Gaiman
You know, I'm normally so sanguine. But... being accused of rushing these two books out to cash in on the Newbery Medal, without access to time travel equipment or anything, just makes me want to bang my forehead gently against a tree for half an hour. Is it too much to ask people to think?
Neil Gaiman
He tried to listen to the conversations going on at the table and he found that he could no longer concentrate on what anyone was saying and which was worse that he was not interested in any of what he was able to hear.
Neil Gaiman
Adult helplessness destroys children. Or it forces them to become tiny adults of their own.
Neil Gaiman
None of this is truly happening, he said to Shadow. He sounded miserable. It's all in your head. Best not to think of it.
Neil Gaiman
Never trust a demon. He has a hundred motives for anything he does... ninety-nine of them, at least, are malevolent.
