I fell for her like a suicide from a bridge.

That's the trouble with living things. Don't last very long. Kittens one day, old cats the next. And then just memories. And the memories fade and blend and smudge together.

There's never been a true war that wasn't fought between two sets of people who were certain they were in the right. The really dangerous people believe they are doing whatever they are doing solely and only because it is without question the right thing to do. And that is what makes them dangerous.

There was only one guy in the whole Bible Jesus ever personally promised a place with him in Paradise. Not Peter, not Paul, not any of those guys. He was a convicted thief, being executed. So don't knock the guys on death row. Maybe they know something you don't.

Tools, of course, can be the subtlest of traps.

Without dreams, there could be no despair.

Everybody going to be dead one day, just give them time.

The future came and went in the mildly discouraging way that futures do.
Neil Gaiman
Image
The names are the first things to go, after the breath has gone, and the beating of the heart. We keep our memories longer than our names.

Image
Being brave doesn't mean you aren't scared. Being brave means you are scared, really scared, badly scared, and you do the right thing anyway.

There are little pockets of old time in London, where things and places stay the same, like bubble in amber.

We often confuse what we wish for with what is.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Some of us claim that he was a messiah, and some think that he was just a man with very special powers. But that misses the point. Whatever he was, he changed the world.

You're sick. Sick and evil and weird.

On the first day Coraline's family moved in, Miss Spink and Miss Forcible made a point of telling Coraline how dangerous the well was, and they warned her to be sure she kept away from it. So Coraline set off to explore for it, so that she knew where it was, to keep away from it properly.
