More From Neil Gaiman

Men are four; he who knows and knows not that he knows. he is asleep; wake him. he who knows not and knows not that he knows not. he is a fool; shun him. he who knows not and knows that he knows not. he is a child; teach him. he who knows and knows that he knows. he is a king; follow him. the heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.
Kings Children Night
There are four types of men in this world: 1. the man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2. the man who knows, but doesn't know that he knows; help him not forget what he knows. 3. the man who knows not, and knows that he knows not; teach him. 4. finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him.
Inspirational Wise Wisdom
Say not, 'i have found the truth,' but rather, 'i have found a truth.' say not, ' i have found the path of the soul.' say rather, 'i have met the soul walking upon my path.' for the soul walks upon all paths. the soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. the soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.
Spiritual Wisdom Journey
Halfway down the stairs, is a stair, where i sit. there isn't any, other stair, quite like, it. i'm not at the bottom, i'm not at the top; so this is the stair, where, i always, stop. halfway up the stairs, isn't up, and isn't down. it isn't in the nursery, it isn't in the town. and all sorts of funny thoughts, run round my head: it isn't really anywhere! it's somewhere else instead!
Running Somewhere Else Nurse
I don't want to stand with somebody's praise. whereas now when people come up to me, they say, "i love the bookstore" and "kids! come here, come here! this is the woman who owns the bookstore." that's incredible. i can say to that, "thank you for shopping local. thank you for coming in. what are you reading? let's talk about books." it's about something i'm doing as opposed to somehow something i am. i feel comfortable and positive in that role. because it's about reading. it's about books. it's about learning. it's about business and tax base.

The postmodern reply to the modern consists of recognizing that the past, since it cannot really be destroyed, because its destruction leads to silence, must be revisited: but with irony, not innocently. i think of the postmodern attitude as that of a man who loves a very cultivated woman and knows he cannot say to her, i love you madly, because he knows that she knows (and that she knows that he knows) that these words have already been written by barbara cartland. still, there is a solution. he can say, as barbara cartland would put it, i love you madly.

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... i believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.
Love Faith Peace
Love is a smoke rais'd with the fume of sighs; being purg'd, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes; being vex'd, a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears; what is it else? a madness most discreet, a choking gall, and a preserving sweet.
Sweet Eye Love Is
Happiness is a thing to be practiced, like the violin.
Happiness Life And Love Violin
But strictly held by none, is loosely bound by countless silken ties of love and thought to everything on earth the compass round, and only by one's going slightly taut in the capriciousness of summer air is of the slightest bondage made aware.
