I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.

The world always seems brighter when you’ve just made something that wasn’t there before.

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.

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

Sometimes you wake up. Sometimes the fall kills you. And sometimes, when you fall, you fly.

Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.

- Neil Gaiman

The moment that you feel, just possibly, you are walking down the street naked, ... That is the moment, you might be starting to get it right.

- Neil Gaiman

The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can.
