Itโs easier to kill people, when youโre dead yourself. I mean, itโs not such a big deal. Youโre not so prejudiced any more.
Neil GaimanI see libraries and librarians as frontline soldiers in the war against illiteracy and the lack of imagination.
Neil GaimanMost people don't realize how important librarians are. I ran across a book recently which suggested that the peace and prosperity of a culture was solely related to how many librarians it contained. Possibly a slight overstatement. But a culture that doesn't value its librarians doesn't value ideas and without ideas, well, where are we?
Neil GaimanTrees there were, old as trees can be, huge and grasping with hearts black as sin. Strange trees that some said walked in the night.
Neil GaimanMy bed was pushed up hard against the wall just below the window. I loved to sleep with the windows open. Rainy nights were the best of all: I would open my windows and put my head on my pillow and close my eyes and feel the wind on my face and listen to the trees sway and creak. There would be raindrops blown onto my face, too, if I was lucky, and I would imagine that I was in my boat on the ocean and that it was swaying with the swell of the sea. I did not imagine that I was a pirate, or that I was going anywhere. I was just on my boat.
