“We writers – and especially writers for children, but all writers – have an obligation to our readers: it's the obligation to write true things, especially important when we are creating tales of people who do not exist in places that never were – to understand that truth is not in what happens but what it tells us about who we are. Fiction is the lie that tells the truth, after all.”
― Neil Gaiman

“I've learned over the years that everything is more or less the same amount of work, so you may as well set your sights high and try to do something really cool.”
― Neil Gaiman, The View from the Cheap Seats: Selected Nonfiction

“I believe that in the battle between guns and ideas, ideas will, eventually, win.”
― Neil Gaiman, The View from the Cheap Seats: Selected Nonfiction

“The way to turn an ex-lover into a friend is to never stop loving them, to know that when one phase of a relationship ends it can transform into something else. It is to acknowledge that love is both a constant and a variable at the same time.”
― Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
