“The gods we prayed to when we were young used up their time so long ago. They cannot answer anymore.
They never liked us, did they?
Gods don't "like". They love, they hate, they ignore...”
― The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones

“MORPHEUS: I did not intend to hurt you,
THESSALY: And what if you did not? Intent and outcome are so rarely coincident.”

“There are many types of monsters that scare me: Monsters who cause trouble without showing themselves, monsters who abduct children, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who suck blood... and then, monsters who tell nothing but lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance: They are much more cunning than others. They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart; they eat even though they've never experienced hunger; they study even though they have no interest in academics; they seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such monsters, I would likely be eaten by them... because in truth, I am that monster.”

“It must be a real betrayal, when your body turns against you.
I wonder if she likes flowers.
All the bits of you that can go wrong...
I don't like flowers, not really. I like growing them, but that's only because I like seeing them blossom, and seeing them die...
But oh, how I do love to play God.”
― The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones
