I lived in books more than I lived anywhere else.

I went away in my head, into a book. That was where I went whenever real life was too hard or too inflexible.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

Growing up, I took so many cue...

Growing up, I took so many cues from books. They taught me most of what I knew about what people did, about how to behave. They were my teachers and my advisers.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

They could not truly look dead...

They could not truly look dead, because they did not ever look alive.

You were her way here, and it'...

You were her way here, and it's a dangerous thing to be a door.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

Adults should not weep, I knew...

Adults should not weep, I knew. They did not have mothers who would comfort them.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

Peas baffled me. I could not u...

Peas baffled me. I could not understand why grown-ups would take things that tasted so good raw, and then put them in tins, and make them revolting.

Monsters come in all shapes and sizes, Some of them are things people are scared of. Some of them are things that look like things people used to be scared of a long time ago. Sometimes monsters are things people should be scared of, but they aren't.

Does it make you feel big to make a little boy cry?

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

I saw the world I had walked s...

I saw the world I had walked since my birth and I understood how fragile it was, that the reality was a thin layer of icing on a great dark birthday cake writhing with grubs and nightmares and hunger.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

I do not miss childhood, but I...

I do not miss childhood, but I miss the way I took pleasure in small things, even as greater things crumbled. I could not control the world I was in, could not walk away from things or people or moments that hurt, but I took joy in the things that made me happy.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

Grown-ups don't look like grow...

Grown-ups don't look like grown-ups on the inside either. Outside, they're big and thoughtless and they always know what they're doing. Inside, they look just like they always have. Like they did when they were your age. Truth is, there aren't any grown-ups. Not one, in the whole wide world.

As we age, we become our parents; live long enough and we see faces repeat in time.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

There was a table laid with je...

There was a table laid with jellies and trifles, with a party hat beside each place, and a birthday cake with seven candles on it in the center of the table. The cake had a book drawn on it, in icing. My mother, who had organized the party, told me that the lady at the bakery said that they had never put a book on a birthday cake before, and that mostly for boys it was footballs or spaceships. I was their first book.

Books were safer than other people anyway.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

Doing fine, thank you, I would...

Doing fine, thank you, I would say, never knowing how to talk about what I do. If I could talk about it, I would not have to do it. I make art, sometimes I make true art, and sometimes it fills the empty places in my heart. Some of them. Not all.

I make art, sometimes I make true art, and sometimes it fills the empty places in my life. Some of them. Not all.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

Nobody looks like what they really are on the inside. You don't. I don't. People are much more complicated than that. It's true of everybody.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

Nothing's ever the same,' she said. 'Be it a second later or a hundred years. It's always churning and roiling. And people change as much as oceans.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

A flash of resentment. It's hard enough being alive, trying to survive in the world and find your place in it, to do the things you need to do to get by, without wondering if the thing you just did, whatever it was, was worth someone having...if not died, then having given up her life. It wasn't fair. 'Life's not fair,' said Ginnie, as if I had spoken aloud.
