The simplest way to make sure that we raise literate children is to teach them to read, and to show them that reading is a pleasurable activity.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

The biggest difference between England and America is that England has history, while America has geography.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

Life is always going to be st...

Life is always going to be stranger than fiction, because fiction has to be convincing, and life doesn't.

I lost some time once. It's always in the last place you look for it.

I was a scholarship minor public school day boy at Ardingly College and later Whitgift School. Then, straight into work as a journalist - a wonderful thing for a writer.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

Going off the grid is always ...

Going off the grid is always good for me. It's the way that I've started books and finished books and gotten myself out of deadline dooms and things.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothes. But the half-wit remains a half-wit, and the emperor remains an emperor.

My guiltiest pleasure is Harry Stephen Keeler. He may have been the greatest bad writer America has ever produced. Or perhaps the worst great writer. I do not know. There are few faults you can accuse him of that he is not guilty of. But I love him.

A nice, easy place for freedom of speech to be eroded is comics, because comics are a natural target whenever an election comes up.

The moment that you feel that...

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.

As far as I'm concerned, the entire reason for becoming a writer is not having to get up in the morning.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

I had started to feel that so...

I had started to feel that somewhere in the second half of the 20th century, the idea of page-turning as a good thing had been lost. You were getting books that were the equivalent of absolutely beautifully prepared dishes of food that didn't taste like anything much.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

A library is a place that is ...

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 1180 quotes

In the case of 'Ocean at the ...

In the case of 'Ocean at the End of the Lane,' it's a book about helplessness. It's a book about family, it's a book about being 7 in a world of people who are bigger than you, and more dangerous, and stepping into territory that you don't entirely understand.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

American Gods is about 200,000 words long, and I'm sure there are words that are simply in there 'cause I like them. I know I couldn't justify each and every one of them.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

I believe that stories are in...

I believe that stories are incredibly important, possibly in ways we don't understand, in allowing us to make sense of our lives, in allowing us to escape our lives, in giving us empathy and in creating the world that we live in.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

Things need not have happened...

Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and adventures are the shadow truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes and forgotten.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

Sometimes the best way to learn something is by doing it wrong and looking at what you did.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.

Is the chemical aftertaste the reason why people eat hot dogs, or is it some kind of bonus?
