Short stories are tiny windows into other worlds and other minds and dreams. They are journeys you can make to the far side of the universe and still be back in time for dinner.
Neil GaimanHearts may break, but hearts are the toughest of muscles, able to pump for a lifetime, seventy times a minute, and scarcely falter along the way. Even dreams, the most delicate and intangible of things, can prove remarkably difficult to kill.
Neil GaimanThere are stories you build and there are stories you construct; then there are the stories that you hack out of rock removing all the things that are not the story.
Neil GaimanIf you are protected from dark things then you have no protection of, knowledge of, or understanding of dark things when they show up.
