i lost some time

'I lost some time once.

It's always in the last place you look for it.'

Neil Gaiman - 'The Sandman - Seasons of mist'

is that a yes?

'Have you come to tell me something?'

'is that a yes?'

i had lost my way

''i turned to run:

 but there was nothing anywhere
but the darkness.

No shelter.

No safety.

I had lost my way

and i was alone in the night''

Neil Gaiman\Dave McKean 'Mr. Punch'

do not forget what you have learned

''Sleep long, grow strong--

dream deep, grow wild--

do not forget what you have learned!''

Neil Gaiman - 'Free Country - A Tale of the Children's Crusade'

words can wound

'The view changes from where you are standing.

Words can wound, and wounds can heal.'

Neil Gaiman - 'Fragile Things - Strange Little Girls'

make a home

'When you reach the little house, the place your journey started, you will recognise it, although it will seem much smaller than you remember.

Walk up the path, and through the garden gate you never saw before but once. 

And then go home. Or make a home.

Or rest''

Neil Gaiman - 'Fragile Things-Instructions'

hearts may break

'Hearts may break, but hearts are the toughest of muscles able to pump for a lifetime, seventy times a minute, and scarcely falter along the way. Even dreams, the most delicate and intangible of things, can prove remarkably difficult to kill.''

Neil Gaiman, from the Introduction of 'Fragile Things'

without dreams

η σημασία των πουλιών

image by 'The Black Orchid' by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean

"Η σημασία των πουλιών δεν φανερώνεται σαν τα φονεύεις με δίκαννο σε κυνήγι. Η σημασία των πουλιών υπάρχει μόνο όταν πετούν για να θυμίζουν τον ξεχασμένο μας προορισμό."
~Μάνος Χατζιδάκις

our choices

Neil Gaiman 'The Sandman - Season of Mists'

''We do what we must, Lucien.
Sometimes we can choose the path we follow.
Sometimes our choices are made for us.
And sometimes we have no choice at all''.

when i'm asleep

''-When i dream sometimes i remember how to fly. you just lift one leg, then you lift another leg, and you're not standing on anything, and you can fly. And then when i wake up i can't remember how to do it anymore.

-So?

-So what i want to know is, when i'm asleep, do i really remember how to fly? And forget how when i wake up? Or am i just dreaming i can fly?

-When you dream sometimes you remember. When you wake you always forget.

-But that's not fair...

-No.''
