Neil Gaiman quote:

“Remember: when people tell you something’s wrong or doesn’t work for them, they are almost always right. When they tell you exactly what they think is wrong and how to fix it, they are almost always wrong.” *

Seth Godin quote:

“Your chance of winning is so vanishingly small it’s as if, from an investment point of view, there are no winners. Which means that you should play the game for the thrill of playing it, for the benefits of playing it to a normal conclusion, not because you think you have any shot at all of winning the grand prize.” *

Stephen Bissette quote:

“Neil EARNED where he is, and did so (he told me, and has told others) by never deviating from the path that led to WRITING FULL TIME.

Also, Neil Gaiman on piracy:

MANTRA 61

Erik Larsen quote:

“I wonder what all the comics would be like if the creators did what they wanted to do instead of trying to be commercial. I think a lot of writers and artists pander to what they think the audience wants. I’d like to see what these guys would do if they didn’t. Often I’ll look through artist’s sketchbooks and wonder, ‘why the hell aren’t we seeing THAT in your finished work?'” *

Stefan Molyneux quote:

“People don’t live in the world of ‘what happened’. People live in the world of narrative. People live in fairy tales. People live in the shifting matrix of adjectives and descriptors.” *
