Daydreamer

“I think that pretty much every form of fiction (I’d include fantasy, obviously) can actually be a real escape from places where you feel bad, and from bad places. It can be a safe place you go, like going on holiday, and it can be somewhere that, while you’ve escaped, actually teaches you things you need to know when you go back, that gives you knowledge and armour and tools to change the bad place you were in.

So no, they’re not escapist. They’re escape.”
― Neil Gaiman

“I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that's really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare.”
― Ned Vizzini, It's Kind of a Funny Story

“Mối liên hệ giữa người và người bị cắt đứt không phải vì lý do gì cụ thể cả. Mà không, kể cả ngoài mặt có lý do đi nữa thì cũng chỉ là lời bào chữa được viện ra sau đó mà thôi, vì tâm trí chưa xa rời nhau thì khi xảy ra chuyện khiến mối quan hệ có nguy cơ đứt gãy, chắc chắn phải có ai đó cố gắng hàn gắn lại. Không ai làm vậy chứng tỏ sự gắn bó đã hết.”
― Higashino Keigo

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
