Quote

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.

So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.

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.

I remembered something somebody had once said to me. It's okay. Everyday is freshly ground.
Neil Gaiman
Image
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.

I see libraries and librarians as frontline soldiers in the war against illiteracy and the lack of imagination.

Everybody who has ever read Sandman knows exactly what the Sandman looks like, which is more than anybody who has ever read The Catcher in the Rye can say about Holden Caufield.

What are these fundamental principles, if they are not atoms? Stories. And they give me hope.

You know what killed off the dinosaurs, Whateley? We did. In one barbecue.

The future came and went in the mildly discouraging way that futures do.

You think you're being given all of these things: phones that can communicate with other devices, car service that's better than a taxi, all of these amazing things that are available to you at any time. It isn't until you've swum across the river that you can start to see the negative aspects of it all.
