Quote

I always figure there are novels and short stories, and in those, I'm God. No one tells me what to do. I don't have to lose a page, or cut anything, it's just mine. Then there are other things where you're up against realities.

Stories are made up by people who make them up. If they work, they get retold. There's the magic of it.
Neil Gaiman

As we age, we become our parents live long enough and we see faces repeat in time.
Neil Gaiman
Image
It is astonishing just how much of what we are can be tied to the beds we wake up in in the morning, and it is astonishing how fragile that can be.

Books are defensive, not offensive (unless you're the puzzled adult trying to make the kid with the book interact).

Picking five favorite books is like picking the five body parts you'd most like not to lose.

How do I know you'll keep your word? asked Coraline. I swear it, said the other mother. I swear it on my own mother's grave. Does she have a grave? asked Coraline. Oh yes, said the other mother. I put her in there myself. And when I found her trying to crawl out, I put her back.

London grew into something huge and contradictory. It was a good place, and a fine city, but there is a price to be paid for all good places, and a price that all good places have to pay.

I don't believe in writer's block. I try and deal with getting stuck by having more than one thing to work on at a time. And by knowing that even a hundred bad words that didn't exist before is forward progress.
Neil Gaiman
Image
It was a dream, and in dreams you have no choices: either there are no decisions to be made, or they were made for you long before ever the dream began.
Neil Gaiman
Image
The moment that you feel that just possibly you are walking down the street naked...that's the moment you may be starting to get it right.

The problems with success, frankly, are infinitely preferable to the problems of failure.

I would read. I would explore

It doesn't matter that I can't remember the details any longer: death happened to her. Death happens to all of us.

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.

All that I did, she said, everything I tried to do. All for nothing. Nothing is done entirely for nothing, said the fox of dreams. Nothing is wasted. You are older, and you have made decisions, and you are not the fox you were yesterday. Take what you have learned, and move on.

We often confuse what we wish for with what is.

You are an analog girl, living in a digital world.

I am anti-life, the Beast of Judgment. I am the dark at the end of everything. The end of universes, gods, worlds…of everything. And what will you be then, Dreamlord? I am hope.

Different people remember things differently, and you'll not get any two people to remember anything the same, whether they were there or not.
