Citações Neil Gaiman
„Toda a gente tem um mundo secreto dentro de si. Toda a gente no mundo. Toda a gente mesmo. Podem ser as pessoas mais aborrecidas ou chatas por fora, mas dentro delas têm mundos inimagináveis, magníficos, maravilhosos, estúpidos e incríveis. E não é apenas um mundo, são centenas deles. Milhares até.“
— Neil Gaiman
The Sandman
„Everybody has a secret world inside of them.“
— Neil Gaiman
Context: Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe.
The Sandman
„Nothing dates harder and faster and more strangely than the future.“
— Neil Gaiman
Context: You can tell when a Hollywood historical film was made by looking at the eye makeup of their leading ladies, and you can tell the date of an old science fiction novel by every word on the page. Nothing dates harder and faster and more strangely than the future.
"Of Time, and Gully Foyle", Foreword to a 1999 edition of The Stars My Destination (1956)
„Writers may be solitary but they also tend to flock together: they like being solitary together.“
— Neil Gaiman
Context: Writers may be solitary but they also tend to flock together: they like being solitary together. I knew a lot of writers in London and many of them were award-winning writers and many of them were award-winning, respectable writers. And the trouble with being an award-winning, respectable writer is that you probably are not making a living.
If you write one well-reviewed, well-respected, not bad selling, but not a bestseller list book every three years, which you sell for a whopping 30,000 pounds, that's still going to average out to 10,000 pounds a year and you will make more managing a McDonald's. With overtime you'd probably make more working in a McDonald's. So there were incredibly well-respected, award-winning senior writers who, to make ends meet, were writing film novelizations and TV novelizations under pen names that they were desperately embarrassed about and didn't want anybody to know about.
January magazine interview (2002)
„The world doesn't have to be like this. Things can be different.“
— Neil Gaiman
Context: You're also finding out something as you read vitally important for making your way in the world. And it's this: The world doesn't have to be like this. Things can be different.
