If

"If the wolves come out of the walls, it's all over.”

~Neil Gaiman

It was

“It was a dark and stormy nightmare”

~Neil Gaiman

Lives are snowflakes

“Lives are snowflakes - forming patterns we have seen before, as like one another as peas in a pod (and have you ever looked at peas in a pod? I mean, really looked at them? There's not a chance you'd mistake one for another, after a minute's close in”

~Neil Gaiman

All we have to believe

All we have to believe with is our senses, the tools we use to perceive the world: our sight, our touch, our memory. If they lie to us, then nothing can be trusted. And even if we do not believe, then still we cannot travel in any other way than the road our senses show us; and we must walk that road to the end.”

~Neil Gaiman

We all

“We all not only could know everything. We do. We just tell ourselves we don't to make it all bearable.”

~Neil Gaiman

But he did not

“But he did not understand the price. Mortals never do. They only see the prize. Their hearts desire, their dream....But the price of getting what you want is getting what you once wanted.”

~Neil Gaiman

Firstly

“Firstly, there is no such person as Death. Second, Death's this tall guy with a bone face, like a skeletal monk, with a scythe and an hourglass and a big white horse and a penchant for playing chess with Scandinavians. Third, he doesn't exist either.”


~Neil Gaiman

He had noticed

“He had noticed that events were cowards: they didn't occur singly, but instead they would run in packs and leap out at him all at once.”


~Neil Gaiman

God does not play dice

“God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of the players, (ie everybody), to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.”
