"Each person who ever was or is or will be has a song. It isn’t a song that anybody else wrote. It has its own melody, it has its own words. Very few people get to sing their own song. Most of us fear that we cannot do it justice with our voices, or that our words are too foolish or too honest, or too old. Some people live their songs instead." Neil Gaiman.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
All we have to believe with is our senses, the tools we use to perceive the world: our sight, our touch, our memory. If they lie to us, then nothing can be trusted. And even if we do not believe, then still we cannot travel in any other way that the road our senses show us, and we must walk that road to the end.
American Gods, Neil Gaiman
Stories are webs, interconnected strand to strand, and you follow each story to the center, because the center is the end. Each person is a strand of story

Human eyes are only made to see one version of reality at a time

It’s like the people who believe they’ll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, but who learn it doesn’t work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.
Silas from The Graveyard Book (Neil Gaiman)

She seems so cool, so focused, so quiet, yet her eyes remain fixed upon the horizon.
You think you know all there is to know about her immediately upon meeting her, but everything you think you know is wrong. Passion flows through her like a river of blood.
She only looked away for a moment, and the mask slipped, and you fell. All your tomorrows start here.
New Age, by Neil Gaiman
