There are people who think that things that happen in fiction do not really happen. These people are wrong.
Neil Gaiman
Image
The future had suddenly become unknowable: anything could happen: the train of my life had jumped the rails and headed off across the fields and coming down the lane with me, then.
Neil Gaiman
Image

So, if a city has a personality, maybe it also has a soul. Maybe it dreams.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Sleep my little baby-oh Sleep until you waken When you wake you'll see the world If I'm not mistaken... Kiss a lover Dance a measure, Find your name And buried treasure... Face your life Its pain, Its pleasure, Leave no path untaken.
Neil Gaiman
Image
It is going to take more than just a couple of good-hearted souls to raise this child. It will take a graveyard.
