Neil Gaiman Quote #1
- The myths are dead. The gods are dead. The ghosts and ghouls and phantoms are dead. There is only the State, and the People.
- No, Monsieur Robespierre. There is much more than that.Neil Gaiman Quote #2
... and we held our breath, just for a moment, to see if the world had ended, but it hadn't, so we yawned and drank our champagne and carried on living, except for those of us who died, and everything continued such as before.
Neil Gaiman Quote #3
...Because a book is a little empathy machine. It puts you inside somebody else’s head. You see out of the world through somebody else’s eyes. It’s very hard to hate people of a certain kind when you’ve just read a book by one of those people.
Neil Gaiman Quote #4
...but fear of death gives us strength.

...Come home, Bod.'
‘I think . . . I said things to Silas. He’ll be angry.’
‘If he didn’t care about you, you couldn’t upset him,’ was all she said.Neil Gaiman Quote #6
Run away. Whatever you are, run away. Run back to your gibbet, run back to your grave, little wish hound. All you can do is depress us, fill the world with shadows and illusions. The age when you ran with the wild hunt, or hunted terrified humans, it's over.

Neil Gaiman Quote #8
[D]on't ever apologise to an author for buying something in paperback, or taking it out from a library (that's what they're there for. Use your library). Don't apologise to this author for buying books second hand, or getting them from bookcrossing or borrowing a friend's copy. What's important to me is that people read the books and enjoy them, and that, at some point in there, the book was bought by someone. And that people who like things, tell other people. The most important thing is that people read...
Neil Gaiman Quote #9
[Dream] I do not want a grape.
[Desire] I could make you want one.Neil Gaiman Quote #10
•The moon in the duckpond was full as well, and I found myself, unbidden, thinking of the holy fools in the old story, the ones who had gone fishing in a lake for the moon, with nets, convinced that the reflection in the water was nearer and easier to catch than the globe that hung in the sky. And, of course, it always is.
Neil Gaiman Quote #11
•They’re like chickens who get out of the henhouse, and they’re so proud of themselves, and so puffed up from being able to eat all the worms and beetles and caterpillars they want, that they never think about foxes.
Neil Gaiman Quote #12
25 And the Lord spake unto the Angel that guarded the eastern gate, saying 'Where is the flaming sword that was given unto thee?'
26 And the Angel said, 'I had it here only a moment ago, I must have put it down some where, forget my own head next.'
27 And the Lord did not ask him again.Neil Gaiman Quote #13
A book is a dream that you hold in your hand.

Neil Gaiman Quote #16
A good writer should be able to write comedic work that made you laugh, and scary stuff that made you scared, and fantasy or science fiction that imbued you with a sense of wonder, and mainstream journalism that gave you clear and concise information in a way that you wanted it.
Neil Gaiman Quote #17
A library is a place that is a repository of information and gives every citizen equal access to it. That includes health information. And mental health information. It's a community space. It's a place of safety, a haven from the world.
Neil Gaiman Quote #18
A nice, easy place for freedom of speech to be eroded is comics, because comics are a natural target whenever an election comes up.
Neil Gaiman Quote #19
A story only matters, I suspect, to the extent that the people in the story change.
Neil Gaiman Quote #20
A table for TONIGHT should certainly have been booked years before-perhaps, it was implied, by Richard's parents. A table for TONIGHT was impossible: if the pope, the prime minister, and the president of France arrived this evening without a confirmed reservation, even they would be turned out into the street with a continental jeer.
Neil Gaiman Quote #21
A única coisa de que dispomos, para acreditar, são os nossos sentidos, as ferramentas que utilizamos para apreender o mundo: a nossa vista, o nosso tacto, a nossa memória. Se os nossos sentidos nos mentirem, então não podemos confiar em nada. E mesmo que não acreditemos, ainda assim não podemos seguir por nenhum outro caminho além daquele que os nossos sentidos nos mostram; e esse caminho, temos de o percorrer até o fim.
Neil Gaiman Quote #22
According to my daughters, my most irritating habit is asking for cups of tea.
Neil Gaiman Quote #23
Adult helplessness destroys children. Or it forces them to become tiny adults of their own.
Neil Gaiman Quote #24
Adults follow paths. Children explore.
Neil Gaiman Quote #25
Adventures are all very well in their place, but there's a lot to be said for regular meals and freedom from pain.

After four days of flight, she had found a hiding place...
Neil Gaiman Quote #27
All Bette's stories have happy endings. That's because she knows where to stop. She's realized the real problem with stories—if you keep them going long enough, they always end in death.

She's realized the real problem with stories - if you keep them going long enough, they always end in death.Neil Gaiman Quote #29
All bookshelves are magical.
Neil Gaiman Quote #30
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.
