• How could anyone not want to live when there were so many things to live for? There were rainy nights and wind and the slap of the sea and the moon. There were books to read and pictures to paint and music.

• It's more about when you come back from being out somewhere; in a minicab or a night bus, or with someone, or walking home across London late at night, dreamlike, and you've still got the music kind of echoing in you, in your bloodstream, but with real life trying to get in the way. I want it to be like a little sanctuary. It's like that 24-hour stand selling tea on a rainy night, glowing in the dark. It's pretty simple.

• God was gone; it was the silence of his departure. It was a rainy night. It was the myth of the rainy night. Dean was popeyed with awe. This madness would lead nowhere. I didn't know what was happening to me, and I suddenly realized it was only the tea that we were smoking; Dean had bought some in New York. It made me think that everything was about to arrive - the moment when you know all and everything is decided forever.

• Science fiction is a dialogue, a tennis match, in which the Idea is volleyed from one side of the net to the other. Ridiculous to say that someone 'stole' an idea: no, no, a thousand times no. The point is the volley, and how it's carried, and what statement is made by the answering 'statement.' In other words — if Burroughs initiates a time-gate and says it works randomly, and then Norton has time gates confounded with the Perilous Seat, the Siege Perilous of the Round Table, and locates it in a bar on a rainy night — do you see both the humor and the volley in the tennis match?

• Una y otra vez he intentado imaginar el entorno perfecto, las condiciones ideales para la lectura: ¿Un sillón de cuero desgastado en una noche lluviosa? ¿Una hamaca en un jardín recién cortado? ¿Un porche con vistas al mar en verano? Buenas elecciones, todas. Pero no me cabe duda de que todas son meros desplazamientos, intentos sentimentales de reproducir el calor y la comodidad del regazo de mi madre.

• It was the day of the worms. That first almost-warm, after-the-rainy-night day in April, when you bolt from your house to find yourself in a world of worms. They were as numerous here in the East End as they had been in the West. The sidewalks, the streets. The very places where they didn't belong. Forlorn, marooned on concrete and asphalt, no place to burrow, April's orphans.

• Mi cama estaba pegada a la pared, justo debajo de la ventana. Me encantaba dormir con las ventanas abiertas. Las noches de lluvia eran las mejores de todas: abría las ventanas, apoyaba la cabeza en la almohada, cerraba los ojos, sentía el viento en la cara y escuchaba el balanceo y el crujido de los árboles. También me caían gotas de lluvia en la cara, si tenía suerte, e imaginaba que estaba en mi barca en el océano y que se mecía con el oleaje del mar. No me imaginaba que era un pirata ni que iba a ninguna parte. Simplemente estaba en mi barco.

  Neil Gaiman
