And did I pass?' The face of the old woman on my right was unreadable in the gathering dusk. On my left the younger woman said, 'You don't pass or fail at being a person, dear.

Life is sometimes hard. Things...

Life is sometimes hard. Things go wrong, in life and in love and in business and in friendship and in health and in all other ways that life can go wrong. And when things get tough, this is what you should do. Make good art.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

Sometimes the way to do what y...

Sometimes the way to do what you hope to do will be clear cut, and sometimes it will be almost impossible to decide whether or not you are doing the correct thing, because you'll have to balance your goals and hopes with feeding yourself, paying debts, finding work, settling for what you can get.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

I liked myths. They weren't ad...

I liked myths. They weren't adult stories and they weren't children stories. They were better than than that. They just were. Adult stories never made sense, and they were slow to start. They made me feel like there were secrets, Masonic, mythic secrets, to adulthood. Why didn't adults want to read about Narnia, about secret islands and smugglers and dangerous fairies?

Oh, monsters are scared,' said Lettie. 'That's why they're monsters.

Childhood memories are sometim...

Childhood memories are sometimes covered and obscured beneath the things that come later, like childhood toys forgotten at the bottom of a crammed adult closet, but they are never lost for good.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

I knew enough about adults to ...

I knew enough about adults to know that if did tell them what had happened, I would not be believed. Adults rarely seemed to believe me when I told the truth anyway.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

That's the trouble with living...

That's the trouble with living things. Don't last very long. Kittens one day, old cats the next. And then just memories. And the memories fade and blend and smudge together.

I lay on the bed and lost myself in stories. I liked that. Books were safer than other people anyways.

How can you be happy in this world? You have a hole in your heart. You have a gateway inside you to lands beyond the world you know. They will call you, as you grow.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

It doesn't matter that I can't remember the details any longer: death happened to her. Death happens to all of us.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

But standing in that hallway, ...

But standing in that hallway, it was all coming back to me. Memories were waiting at the edges of things, beckoning to me.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

People talk about escapism as ...

People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality.

Neil Gaiman 1180 quotes

You wouldn't die in here, noth...

You wouldn't die in here, nothing ever dies in here, but if you stayed here for too long, after a while just a little of you would exist everywhere, all spread out. And that's not a good thing. Never enough of you all together in one place, so t here wouldn't be anything left that would think of itself as an 'I.' No point of view any longer, because you'd be an infinite sequence of views and of points...

Be boring, knowing everything. You have to give all that stuff up if you're going to muck about here.

Idris: Are all people like this? The Doctor: Like what? Idris: So much bigger on the inside.

She didn't have a daddy?' I asked. 'No.' 'Did you have a daddy?' 'You're all questions, aren't you? No, love. We never went in for that sort of thing. You only need men if you want to breed more men.

A story only matters, I suspect, to the extent that the people in the story change.

I was a normal child. Which is...

I was a normal child. Which is to say, I was selfish and I was not entirely convinced of the existence of things that were not me, and I was certain, rock-solid, unshakeably certain, that I was the most important thing in creation. There was nothing that was more important to me than I was.
