About Neil Gaiman

Born 1960

British author of novels, comics and short stories, including 'The Sandman', 'American Gods' and 'Coraline'.

“The world always seems brighter when you've just made something that wasn't there before.”

“Tomorrow may be hell, but today was a good writing day, and on the good writing days nothing else matters.”

“Because if you don't stand up for the stuff you don't like, when they come for the stuff you do like, you've already lost.”

“Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

“You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.”

“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”

“Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you.”

“Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity.”

“We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers.”
