X: "OK, you know what, it all comes down to this. This always works for me so let me ask this to you, loud and clear, once and for all - can you live without him?"

X: "It's a quick, yes-or-no question."

Y: "I think so. Yeah."

X: "Err........ really?"

Y: "The problem is, I doubt there is anyone I can't live without." 


boom. 

one of the best 'stories' I've ever read.

Brilliant. 

"You don’t normally enjoy this.  You’ve got a security system installed because you don’t trust people in your home. It staves off thieves who try to steal your belongings for a quick fix...Every once in a while a thief attempts to break in, but your security system works wonders."

It's too cold for you here.

"I wanna shelter you

But with the beast inside

There's nowhere we can hide

When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes

It's where my demons hide

It's where my demons hide

Don't get too close

It's dark inside

It's where my demons hide."

After a long, thick silence, she asks,

"Okay. What if I don't want to be brave?" 

And for the second time in his life, he falls into a longer, thicker silence. 

because I bow to this man's words.

Some memorable blurbs from Mr Geiman:

“You don't have to test everything to destruction just to see if you made it right."

"Remember: that giants sleep too soundly; that witches are often betrayed by their appetites; dragons have one soft spot, somewhere, always; hearts can be well-hidden, and you can betray them with your tongue. "

“I miss you', he admitted. 
'I'm here', she said. 
'That's when I miss you most. When you're here. When you aren't here, when you're just a ghost of the past or a dream from another life, it's easier then.”

“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something.

So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.

Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it.

Make your mistakes, next year and forever.” 

And my favorite one so far:

“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.” 

just saying.

I have a thing for words.

And people.

And especially --especially, people who are good with words. 

Mmmm.
