“If our emotional stability is based on what other people do or do not do, then we have no stability. If our emotional stability is based on love that is changeless and unalterable, then we attain the stability of God.”

“We all—adults and children, writers and readers—have an obligation to daydream. We have an obligation to imagine. It is easy to pretend that nobody can change anything, that we are in a world in which society is huge and the individual is less than nothing: an atom in a wall, a grain of rice in a rice field. But the truth is, individuals change their world over and over, individuals make the future, and they do it by imagining that things can be different.”
― Neil Gaiman, The View from the Cheap Seats: Selected Nonfiction

“Empathy is a tool for building people into groups, for allowing us to function as more than self-obsessed individuals.”
― Neil Gaiman, The View from the Cheap Seats: Selected Nonfiction

“I am aware that I am less than some people prefer me to be, but most people are unaware that I am so much more than what they see.”
