“I believe that you can set your own ideas against ideas you dislike. that you should be free to argue, explain, clarify, debate, offend, insult, rage, mock, sing, dramatise and deny.”
Awesome book. Read it. Read it again. Read it whenever you can. Read it when in doubt. Read it when not in doubt. Read it and re-read it.
One can read it just for the wisdom imparted, by the Master Neil Gaiman, alone. And one can read it just for those illustrations alone. And both of them together it's a masterpiece, like they say, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Must read and always keep it on your desk.

I read this book on the perfect day. I needed to see and absorb these words from one of the greatest. I highly recommend this to anyone that makes Art. Not just writing. Any art.

This book!
I must buy this book and give it to my daughters. My eldest & youngest are just starting college. My middle will finish next year.
They all need to read this.
It is a credo.
It is a guide.
It is inspiration.
If they learn nothing else, I want them to learn the lessons in this book about freedom of expression, about the NEED to express, about how paths do not have to be the same for everyone.
This book is one I plan on rereading over. And over. And over.
Because I'll need the reminders. And I will give it to friends and family who need it.
Art Matters. And imagination can change the world.

When the punctuation marks and narrative on screen don't make sense and you want to shout at your author, is the moment you need this book. My little lunch break companion.
How many times will I cry about his writing? The clarity of it and the passion behind it is blinding. A collection of four essays by Gaiman, that are easily available on Guardian and Brain Pickings. Reading them again made me realize again why what we people of Humanities do, matters.
Credo, talks about the immortality and immunity ideas have. You can kill the thinker the not the thought. It also talks about freedom of expression and the importance of discussion. Ignorance and appeasement is not the answer to peace.
Why Our Future Depends on Libraries, Reading and Daydreaming, is beautifully illustrated and tells you that it's urgent need of our time to read and raise kids who read. This essay was born when Gaiman had read about Prison Management becoming a thriving business because they calculated the number of dropout children into future criminals. And why libraries are our only saviour to this problem.
Making A Chair, is philosophy made accessible for the airheaded like us. Not everyone can do everything. Like he can't make chair because he can only imagine.
Make Good Art, the answer to our biggest creative problem, what if people don't like it? Keep writing, drawing, dancing, singing, blogging, enjoy it, you won't always meet success, there were will be mistakes, a lot! But don't get distracted to the comfortable job which starts as a detour from actual goal. Make art you are proud of every day.
Illustrations by Riddell make me weep!
