I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because... - Neil Gaiman

"Being a writer is a very peculiar sort of a job: it's always you versus a blank sheet of paper (or a blank screen) and quite often the blank piece of paper wins."

"Books make great gifts because they have whole worlds inside of them. And it's much cheaper to buy somebody a book than it is to buy them the whole world!"

"Writing may or may not be your salvation; it might or might not be your destiny. But that does not matter. What matters right now are the words, one after another. Find the next word. Write it down."

"We owe it to each other to tell stories."

"Set your fantasies in the here and now and then, if challenged, claim to be writing Magical Realism."
