Sandman Quotations

I was hired to do as many Boy Commando, Newsboy Legion, and Sandman stories as I could.

Along with all else, Sandman is a comic strip for intellectuals, and I say it's about time.

The main riff for 'SandMan' was just something I wrote one night.

Never trust the storyteller. Only trust the story.

Any view of things that is not strange, is false.

One thing I've learned: you can know anything, it's all there, you just have to find it.

I would feel infinitely more comfortable in your presence if you would agree to treat gravity as a law, rather than one of a number of suggested options.

You don't have to stay anywhere forever.

For love is no part of the dreamworld. Love belongs to Desire, and Desire is always cruel.

When you say words a lot they don't mean anything. Or maybe they don't mean anything anyway, and we just think they do.

I must confess, I have always wondered what lay beyond life, my dear. Yeah, everybody wonders. And sooner or later everybody gets to find out.

For some folks death is release, and for others death is an abomination, a terrible thing. But in the end, I'm there for all of them.

The price of getting what you want, is getting what once you wanted.

Without dreams, there could be no despair.

Everybody who has ever read Sandman knows exactly what the Sandman looks like, which is more than anybody who has ever read The Catcher in the Rye can say about Holden Caufield.

And if there's a moral there, I don't know what it is, save maybe that we should take our goodbyes whenever we can.
