– G.K. Chesterton
“‘I miss you’, he admitted.
I’m here’, she said.
That’s when I miss you most. When you’re here. When you aren’t here, when you’re just a ghost of the past or a dream from another life, it’s easier then.’”
– Neil Gaiman
“Love is the stuff that keeps things moving so they stay together. Fear is the stuff that makes things hold so still they fall apart.”
– Neil Gaiman
“In a perfect world, you could fuck people without giving them a piece of your heart. And every glittering kiss and every touch of flesh is another shard of heart you’ll never see again.”
– Neil Gaiman

“I have a feeling that we were meant to be together. That we have fought the good fight, side by side, in the past or in the future, I do not know. I am a rational man, but I have learned the value of a good companion, and from the moment I clapped eyes on you, I knew I trusted you as well as I do myself. Yes. I want you with me.”
– A Study in Emerald, Neil Gaiman (via neilgaiman)
“If I knew that today would be the last time I’d see you, I would hug you tight and pray the Lord be the keeper of your soul. If I knew that this would be the last time you pass through this door, I’d embrace you, kiss you, and call you back for one more. If I knew that this would be the last time I would hear your voice, I’d take hold of each word to be able to hear it over and over again. If I knew this is the last time I see you, I’d tell you I love you, and would not just assume foolishly you know it already.”
– Gabriel Garcia Marquez
“For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.”
– Vincent Van Gogh
“I’ve been making a list of the things they don’t teach you at school. They don’t teach you how to love somebody. They don’t teach you how to be famous. They don’t teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don’t teach you how to walk away from someone you don’t love any longer. They don’t teach you how to know what’s going on in someone else’s mind. They don’t teach you what to say to someone who’s dying. They don’t teach you anything worth knowing.”
– Neil Gaiman
“And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame”-Lewis Carroll
“There, is a tree swinging
And voices are
In the wind’s singing
More distant and more solemn
Than a fading star.”-T.S. Eliot
“Shadows are falling and I’ve been here all day
It’s too hot to sleep, time is running away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I’ve still got the scars that the sun didn’t heal
There’s not even room enough to be anywhere
It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there” -Bob Dylan
