Being brave doesn't mean you aren't scared. Being brave means you are scared, really scared, badly scared, and you do the right thing anyway.
Neil GaimanYou're alive, Bod. That means you have infinite potential. You can do anything, make anything, dream anything. If you can change the world, the world will change. Potential. Once you're dead, it's gone. Over. You've made what you've made, dreamed your dream, written your name. You may be buried here, you may even walk. But that potential is finished.
Neil GaimanThere are lots of artists in the world. But there's only one you. And the only person who has your point of view is you. If you decide not to make things, all you've done is deprive the world of all the stuff that only you could have brought to it.
Neil GaimanA world in which there are monsters, and ghosts, and things that want to steal your heart is a world in which there are angels, and dreams and a world in which there is hope.
Neil GaimanLucifer protests he was never to blame for inducing anyone to sin, and that heโs never had an interest in owning souls: 'They die, and they come here โ having transgressed against what they believed to be right โ and expect us to fulfill their desire for pain and retribution. I donโt make them come hereโฆ I need no souls. And how can anyone own a soul? No, they belong to themselves. They just hate to have to face up to it.
