"I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They
don't teach you how to love someone. 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 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."
– in The Kindly Ones
"When we hold each other, in the darkness, it doesn't make the darkness go
away. The bad things are still out there. The nightmare's still walking. When
we hold each other we feel not safe, but better. 'It's all right' we whisper,
'I'm here, I love you.' and we lie: 'I'll never leave you.' For just a moment
or two the darkness doesn't seem so bad."
– John Constantine, "Hold Me"
"...everybody has a secret world inside of them. I mean everybody. All of the people in the whole world — 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.
"Isn't that a weird thought?"
– Neil Gaiman, Sandman: A Game of You
