several quotes from mr. neil gaiman that i thoroughly enjoy:

“what i say is, a town isn’t a town without a bookstore. it may call itself a town, but unless it’s got a bookstore it knows it’s not fooling a soul.”

“there are so many fragile things, after all. people break so easily, and so do dreams and hearts.”

“remember: that giants sleep too soundly; that witches are often betrayed by their appetites; dragons have one soft spot, somewhere, always; hearts can be well-hidden, & you can betray them with your tongue.”
