Face your life, its pain, its pleasure, leave no path untaken.

– Neil Gaiman –

You don’t get explanations in real life. You just get moments that are absolutely, utterly, inexplicably odd.

Sometimes you wake up. Sometimes the fall kills you. And sometimes, when you fall, you fly.

Ph : Paolo Roversi

I can believe things that are true and things that aren’t true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they’re true or not …

I believe that the future sucks and I believe that the future rocks …

I believe in a personal god who cares about me and worries and oversees everything I do. I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn’t even know that I’m alive. I believe in an empty and godless universe of causal chaos, background noise, and sheer blind luck.

I believe in absolute honesty and sensible social lies. I believe in a woman’s right to choose, a baby’s right to live, that while all human life is sacred …

I believe that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you’re alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it.

Ph : Paolo Roversi

Everybody has a secret world inside of them.

I mean everybody. All of the people in the whole 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.

I lived in books more than I lived anywhere else.

Adventures are all very well in their place,

but there’s a lot to be said for regular meals

and freedom from pain.

– Neil Gaiman – Stardust

Stories you read when you’re the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you’ll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.
