But how can you walk away from something and still come back to it?" "Easy," said the cat. "Think of somebody walking around the world. You start out walking away from something and end up coming back to it." "Small world," said Coraline. "It's big enough for her," said the cat. "spiders' webs only have to be large enough to catch flies." Coraline shivered.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

China was the most optimistic...

China was the most optimistic place I'd ever been. Everybody I met was pretty much convinced that their children would have it better than their parents had had it. It was like being in America in the 1950's, with this deep optimism about the future because everything was getting better, and that fascinated me.

I really like being able to laugh at my own jokes.

You're brave. You are the bra...

You're brave. You are the bravest person I know, and you are my friend. I don't care if you are imaginary.

The wise man knows when to keep silent. Only the fool tells all he knows.

I love doing the readings. The readings are the fun bits... The readings are probably the things that actually keep me going on these. If I couldn't do the readings, I wouldn't do the [signing] tours. I get to stand up there and read to a bunch of adults who in many cases nobody's read to in years, since they were about five. They just squat on the floor. That's enormously enjoyable.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

The end of the story of Batma...

The end of the story of Batman is he's dead. Because, in the end, the Batman dies. What else am I going to do? Retire and play golf? It doesn't work that way. It can't. I fight until I drop. And one day, I will drop.

I'd love to think that people...

I'd love to think that people in the future would gather in theatres, at conventions, and in darkened rooms, and read it out to each other.

I can get away before the storm hits. Away from a world in which opiates have become the religion of the masses.

I'm sure there's an alternate universe where I got to become a pulpy science fiction writer.

Her other mother smiled brightly and the hair on her head drifted like plants under the sea.

If not for Death, they’d be content to simply exist, but with Death, well, their lives will have meaning — a boundary beyond which the living cannot cross.

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.

Kim Newman's Anno Dracula is back in print, and we must celebrate. It was the first mash-up of literature, history and vampires, and now, in a world in which vampires are everywhere, it's still the best, and its bite is just as sharp. Compulsory reading, commentary, and mindgame: glorious.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

Rules and responsibilities: these are the ties that bind us. We do what we do, because of who we are. If we did otherwise, we would not be ourselves. I will do what I have to do. And I will do what I must.

Writer advice... Write. Finish things. Go for walks. Read a lot & outside your comfort zone. Stay interested. Daydream. Write.

Writing imaginative tales for the young is like sending coals to Newcastle. For coals.

The converse held reassuringly true: daylight was safe. Daylight was always safe.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

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.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

When you say words a lot they don't mean anything. Or maybe they don't mean anything anyway, and we just think they do.
