Neil Gaiman's quotes

It's not a bad thing for a writer not to feel at home. Writers - we're much more comfortable at parties standing in the corner watching everybody else having a good time than we are mingling.
This is a work of fiction. All the characters in it, human and otherwise, are imaginary, excepting only certain of the fairy folk, whom it might be unwise to offend by casting doubt on their existence. Or lack thereof.
We all not only could know everything. We do. We just tell ourselves we don't to make it all bearable.
It is a fool's prerogative to utter truths that no one else will speak.
Firstly, there is no such person as Death. Second, Death's this tall guy with a bone face, like a skeletal monk, with a scythe and an hourglass and a big white horse and a penchant for playing chess with Scandinavians. Third, he doesn't exist either.
There is never enough time, and I wind up just wanting to do things that I don't have time for.
The biggest difference between England and America is that England has history, while America has geography.
In fiction, why do people never talk while making love?
One day the good and honest townsfolk of Northampton will burn Alan (Moore) as a warlock, and it will be a great loss to the world.
I like writing things that will surprise me.
I think a good short story is a magic trick. That's one reason why I love reading books on magic, because sometimes you realize that the trick is very small, but the effect is huge.
These days AIDS seems to have become, for good or evil, just another disease in Venus's armoury.
Writing is flying in dreams.
I seem to have a career that I enjoy that doesn't involve getting up too early in the morning.
There are people who don't read introductions.
Sometimes the only way I would know that a story had finished was when there weren't any more words to be written down.
I laughed in the face of danger and spat on the shoes of writers block.
Handmade Christmas cards are things of beauty; monuments to inspired creativity.
Every Christmas I feel insignificant and embarrassed and talentless.
The mechanics of writing fascinate me.
You know what you're writing ahead of time.
Writing imaginative tales for the young is like sending coals to Newcastle. For coals.
Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. If a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit. Horror stays with you hardest.
Fantasy gets into your bones.
Science-fiction takes you across the stars, and into other times and minds.
Short stories are tiny windows into other worlds and other minds and dreams. They are journeys you can make to the far side of the universe and still be back in time for dinner.
The hardest thing to do as a young writer is to finish something.
The good thing about a book of short stories is you don't have to like them all.
M is for magic. All the letters are, if you put them together properly. You can make magic with them, and dreams, and I hope, even a few surprises...
I remember reading books as a child and promising myself I would never forget. Because you'd read books, and they'd obviously been written by someone who'd completely forgot. And I'd go, How can you forget?
George R R Martin is not your bitch.
What makes children's fiction children's fiction? What makes fiction for adults? What do people respond to and what do I respond to. One of the keys to children's fiction for me is you owe it to the world, and you owe it to the kids, to give them hope.
There were apparently limits to what you could take out of South Africa.
[writing chunks from 1930s and 40s girls-school stories] I loved writing them. I loved the fact that I got to make them up and could have just made them up forever.
I think the joy of perfectly new experiences is that they should be a surprise - and the joy of writing about kids is that so much is absolutely new, you can give them first times for everything.
There are things I think some kids are really good at. I was really good at living inside books, the sort of relationship kids have with fiction, the relationship kids have with books.
I think there's a bonding experience between children and pets whereas adults would be hard pushed to make that amount of emotional investment in pets. My pets were pretty much always cats.
[why he likes giving lectures] To try and understand what I was writing and who it was for.
I needed to change and fix and rebuild.
I am really fascinated by the power of myths. You don't go to a myth for characterization - what you go to a really good myth for is a kind of glorious inevitability.
[photographs] Memory-jogging.
I owe thanks to so many people, the ones who were there in my life when I needed them, the ones who brought me tea, the ones who wrote the books that brought me up. To single any of them out is foolish.
[driving down a narrow country lane at night in fog] If you drive slowly, you can see far enough in front of you to drive safely and keep going, but you can't drive very fast, and you really don't know what's going to be around each corner.
In Sarasota, Florida, Stephen King reminded me of the joy of just writing every day. Words save our lives, sometimes.
I have wonderful editors on both sides of the Atlantic.
[acknowledgements in a book] You do not have to read it. It's mostly just names.
The good folk of Twitter were extremely helpful when I needed to double-check how much Blackjacks and fruit salad sweets cost in the 1960s.
I learned more about the words I'd written when reading aloud than I ever have learned about anything I've written.
