    • (In a 1999 interview with Sfsite.com) Neil Gaiman: I was just dumbfounded by this wonderful First Amendment thing and how absolutely great it was. You see, I was coming from a country where that doesn't exist.
    • (in a note at the end of his graphic novel, The Wake) Neil Gaiman: My electronic address book contains the names of a number of people who have died . . .all it would take would be a press of the delete key to remove them. But that would be too final a goodbye, so they remain undeleted.
