Quotes from Tumblr

Some quotes from my tumblr:

"Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they’ve all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe."
- Neil Gaiman, A Game of You

“I like the stars. It’s the illusion of permanence, I think. I mean, they’re always flaring up and caving in and going out. But from here, I can pretend…I can pretend that things last. I can pretend that lives last longer than moments. Gods come, and gods go. Mortals flicker and flash and fade. Worlds don’t last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. But I can pretend…”
- Neil Gaiman, The Sandman

"People that like to read are always a little fucked up."

"Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise."

“It’s good to have mysteries. It reminds us that there’s more to the world than just making do and having a bit of fun.”
- Charles de Lint
