More quotes by Neil Gaiman

"If you only write when inspired, you may be a fairly decent poet, but you'll never be a novelist."
"The main rule of writing is that if you do it with enough assurance and confidence, you’re allowed to do whatever you like. (That may be a rule for life as well as for writing. But it’s definitely true for writing.) So write your story as it needs to be written. Write it honestly, and tell it as best you can. I’m not sure that there are any other rules. Not ones that matter."
"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."
"It is a fool's prerogative to utter truths that no one else will speak."
"There are people who think that things that happen in fiction do not really happen. These people are wrong."
