Neil Gaiman, science fiction writer, was born on this date in 1960. Here are 10 Neil Gaiman quotes:
- Sometimes, when you fall, you fly.
- You don't pass or fail at being a person.
- I have always felt that violence was the last refuge of the incompetent, and empty threats the last sanctuary of the terminally inept.
- You don't get explanations in real life. You just get moments that are absolutely, utterly, inexplicably odd.
- He had noticed that events were cowards: they didn't occur singly, but instead they would run in packs and leap out at him all at once.
- All your questions can be answered, if that is what you want. But once you learn your answers, you can never unlearn them.
- I would like to see anyone, prophet, king or God, convince a thousand cats to do the same thing at the same time.
- Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.
- Sometimes the best way to learn something is by doing it wrong and looking at what you did.
- Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and adventures are the shadow truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes and forgotten.
