“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.”
― Neil Gaiman, M Is for Magic

So much turns out to be different than how you imagined.” “Yes, yes, that’s right.” I nodded emphatically several times. Here was somebody who seemed to understand. I felt a trust that made me want to reveal my innermost thoughts to her. “It’s the difference between thinking that Winnie-the-Pooh is cute, and actually living with a bear.”
― Michiko Aoyama, What You Are Looking for is in the Library
