Author Neil Gaiman, speaking to a (chilly, hostile) audience of publishers at the London Book Fair:
“Mammals spend an awful lot of energy on infants … they spend nine months of our lives gestating, and then they get two decades of attention from us, because we’re putting all of our attention into this one thing … Dandelions on the other hand will have thousands of seeds and they let them go where they like. They don’t really care. They will let go to 1,000 seeds, and 100 of them will sprout.
“… The whole point of a digital frontier right now is that it’s a frontier, and all the old rules are falling apart … [You] just have to become a dandelion, be willing for things to fail, throw things out there, try things, and see what sticks.”
