It is a fool's prerogative to utter truths that no one else... - Neil Gaiman

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

"If you only write when inspired, you may be a fairly decent poet, but you'll never be a novelist."

"Remember: when people tell you something’s wrong or doesn’t work for them, they are almost always right. When they tell you exactly what they think is wrong and how to fix it, they are almost always wrong."

"Picking five favorite books is like picking the five body parts you'd most like not to lose."

"I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes...you're Doing Something."
