Fiction is the lie that tells the truth, after all.

I imagine the world dividing into the people who want to feed their children, and the ones shooting at them.

Hunchbacks danced at my wedding for luck. It's a thing you don't see nowadays.

It does not matter where you come from, if you walk toward the truth you will reach it, whatever path you take.
Neil Gaiman
How old are you? asked Door. Richard was pleased she had asked he would never have dared. As old as my tongue, said Hunter, primly, and a little older than my teeth.

Entropy and optimism: the twin forces that make the world go around.
Neil Gaiman
