“The way I figure it, everyone gets a miracle. Like, I will probably never be struck by lightening, or win a Nobel Prize, or become the dictator of a small nation in the Pacific Islands, or contract terminal ear cancer, or spontaneously combust. But if you consider all the unlikely things together, at least one of them will probably happen to each of us. I could have seen it rain frogs. I could have stepped foot on Mars. I could have been eaten by a whale. I could have married the Queen of England or survived months at sea. But my miracle was different. My miracle was this: out of all the houses in all the subdivisions in all of Florida, I ended up living next door to Margo Roth Spiegelman.”
― John Green, Paper Towns

“‫إنني لست حزيناً .. ولكنني لا أستطيع أن أجد التفسير المناسب لهذه الظاهرة ..

أستطيع أن أقول أنني مهموم وهمي ليس شخصياً بل هم جماعي يرتبط بآلام الآخرين ..

إن الحزن ظاهرة مريحة لوجداني .. والإنسان الذي لا يفهم الحزن تكون عاطفته محدودة جداً ..
ويعاني نقصاً وجدانياً وإنسانياً وحالة الحزن ظاهرة إنسانية نبيلة ..
بل هي أنبل من الفرح .. فالإنسان يستطيع افتعال الفرح .. أما الحزن فلا ..”

― Neil Gaiman, Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders

“Remember: that giants sleep too soundly; that witches are often betrayed by their appetites; dragons have one soft spot, somewhere, always; hearts can be well-hidden, and you can betray them with your tongue. (from "Instructions")”
― Neil Gaiman, Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders

“Stories, like people and butterflies and songbirds' eggs and human hearts and dreams, are also fragile things, made up of nothing stronger or more lasting than twenty-six letters and a handful of punctuation marks. Or they are words on the air, composed of sounds and ideas-abstract, invisible, gone once they've been spoken-and what could be more frail than that? But some stories, small, simple ones about setting out on adventures or people doing wonders, tales of miracles and monsters, have outlasted all the people who told them, and some of them have outlasted the lands in which they were created.”
― Neil Gaiman, Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders
