“Notice, that your eyes were given to you to acknowledge others, that your voice was given to you to tell others how you feel, and that your hands were given to you to hold those dear to you.”
—The Everlasting Guilty Crown - EGOIST (Supercell)
“Stories, like people and butterflies and songbirds’ eggs and human hearts and dreams, are also fragile things, made up of nothing stronger or more lasting than twenty-six letters and a handful of punctuation marks. Or they are words on the air, composed of sounds and ideas—abstract, invisible, gone once they’ve been spoken—and what could be more frail than that? But some stories, small simple ones about setting out on adventures or people doing wonders, tales of miracles and monsters, have outlasted all the people who told them, and some of them have outlasted the lands in which they were created.”
—Neil Gaiman, Fragile Things (via moreofamore)
