Neil Gaiman Quotes About Culture

Quotes about: Culture

• Most people don't realize how important librarians are. I ran across a book recently which suggested that the peace and prosperity of a culture was solely related to how many librarians it contained. Possibly a slight overstatement. But a culture that doesn't value its librarians doesn't value ideas and without ideas, well, where are we?

  Neil Gaiman

  Book, Ideas, People

• If you do not value libraries then you do not value information or culture or wisdom. You are silencing the voices of the past and you are damaging the future.

  Neil Gaiman

  Past, Voice, Library

• Books are the way that we communicate with the dead. The way that we learn lessons from those who are no longer with us, that humanity has built on itself, progressed, made knowledge incremental rather than something that has to be relearned, over and over. There are tales that are older than most countries, tales that have long outlasted the cultures and the buildings in which they were first told.

• There's not much high and low culture any more: there's just mingling streams of art and what matters is whether it's good art or bad art.

  Art, What Matters, Culture

• I would not describe myself as a political writer except in the sense that the personal is political, which is something that I do strongly believe. And in that sense American Gods is a very personal novel and a political novel. I was trying to describe the experience of coming to America as an immigrant, the experience of watching the way that America tends to eat other cultures.
