I think there should be an Occupy Gallifrey. Because 0.000001% of the people have 99.99999% of the Time.

THE MAGIC AND THE DANGER OF FICTION IS THIS: it allows us to see through other eyes. It takes us to places we have never been, allows us to care about, worry about, laugh with, and cry for people who do not, outside of the story, exist. There are people who think that things that happen in fiction do not really happen. These people are wrong.

We owe it to each other to tell stories.

The tongue is the most remarkable. For we use it both to taste out sweet wine and bitter poison, thus also do we utter words both sweet and sout with the same tongue.

It's easy, there's a trick to it, you do it or you die.
Neil Gaiman

The things that really change the world, according to Chaos theory, are the tiny things. A butterfly flaps its wings in the Amazonian jungle, and subsequently a storm ravages half of Europe.
Neil Gaiman
Image
It is not that I was credulous, simply that I belived in all things dark and dangerous. It was part of my young creed that the night was full of ghosts and witches, hungry and flapping and dressed completely in black.

You don’t want to ask after the health of anyone, if you’re a funeral director. They think maybe you’re scouting for business.

Songs remain. They last...A song can last long after the events and the people in it are dust and dreams and gone. That's the power of songs.
