“See how small your are next to the mountains. Accept what is bigger that you and what you do not understand.

“Everybody has a secret world inside of them. I mean everybody. All of the people in the whole world, I mean everybody — no matter how dull and boring they are on the outside.

― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 5: A Game of You
