Neil Gaiman

I didn`t touch her. She was my dream; and if you touch a dream it vanishes, like a soap bubble.

There are so many fragile things [...]. People break so easily, and so do dreams and hearts.

The quickest way is sometimes the longest.

It`s not hard to own something. Or everything. You just have to know that it`s yours, and then be willing to let it go.

There are some as are what they are. And there are some as aren`t what they seem to be. And there are some as only seem to be what they seem to be.

Talk is free, [...] but the wise man chooses when to spend his words.

You are young, and in love. [...] Every young man in your position is the most miserable young man who ever lived.

People talk about books that write themselves, and it`s a lie. Books don`t write themselves. It takes thought and research and backache and notes and more time and more work than you`d believe.

Gods die. And when they truly die they are unmourned and unremembered.

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

The really dangerous people believe they are doing whatever they are doing solely and only because it is without question the right thing to do. And that is what makes them dangerous.

People imagine, and people believe: and it is that belief, that rock-solid belief, that makes things happen.

It may help to understand human affairs to be clear that most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused, not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally bad, but by people being fundamentally people.

I don`t want whatever I want. Nobody does. Not really. What kind of fun would it be if I just got everything I ever wanted just like that, and it didn`t mean anything? What then?

Everybody going to be dead one day, just give them time.
