― Neil Gaiman, Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders

“A house is not a home until it has a dog.”

“That's the secret. If you always make sure you're exactly the person you hoped to be, if you always make sure you know only the very best people, then you won't care if you die tomorrow.”
― Carol Rifka Brunt, Tell the Wolves I'm Home
