― Susan Sontag

There are better writers than me out there, there are smarter writers, there are people who can plot better - there are all those kinds of things, but there’s nobody who can write a Neil Gaiman story like I can.”
― Neil Gaiman

“My emotional life: dialectic between craving for privacy and need to submerge myself in a passionate relationship to another.”
