Juan Antonio: Maria Elena used to say that only unfulfilled love can be romantic
sex and the city: the movie
Carrie Bradshaw: Some love stories aren't epic novels, some are short stories. But, that doesn't make them any less filled with love.
Samantha Jones: I'm gonna say the one thing you aren't supposed to say. I love you…but I love me more. I’ve been in a relationship with myself for 49 years and that’s the one I need to work on.
good omens, by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
It has been said that civilization is twenty-four hours and two meals away from barbarism.
american Gods, by Neil Gaiman
No man, proclaimed Donne, is an island, and he was wrong. If we were not islands, we would be lost, drowned in each other's tragedies. We are insulated (a word that means, literally, remember, made into an island) from the tragedy of others, by our island nature, and by the repetitive shape and form of the stories.
- Mr. Ibis
As unoriginal as any other tale, as unique as any other life.
- Mr. Ibis
There was only one guy in the whole Bible Jesus ever personally promised a place with him in Paradise. Not Peter, not Paul, not any of those guys. He was a convicted thief, being executed. So don't knock the guys on death row. Maybe they knew something you don't.
- Shadow
You got to understand the god thing. It's not magic. It's about being you, but the you that people believe in. It's about being the concentrated, magnified, essence of you. It's about becoming a thunder, or the power of a running horse, or wisdom. You take all the belief and become bigger, cooler, more than human. You crystallize. And then one day they forget about you, and they don't believe in you, and they don't sacrifice, and they don't care, and the next thing you know you're running a three-card monte game on the corner of Broadway and Forty-third.
- Low Key Lyesmith aka Loki Lie-Smith
Religions are, by definition, metaphors, after all: God is a dream, a hope, a woman, an ironist, a father, a city, a house of many rooms, a watchmaker who left his prize chronometer in the desert, someone who loves you-even perhaps, against all evidence, a celestial being whose only interest is to make sure your football team, army, business, or marriage thrives, prospers, and triumphs, over all opposition. Religions are places to stand and look and act, vantage points from which to view the world.
People believe. It's what people do. They believe. And then they will not take responsibility for their beliefs; they conjure things, and do not trust the conjurations. People populate the darkness; with gods, with electrons, with tales. People imagine, and people believe: and it is that belief, that rock-solid belief, that makes things happen.
- Shadow
I think I would rather be a man than a god. We don't need anyone to believe in us. We just keep going anyhow. It's what we do.
- Shadow
Ps. Isn't this all so true?
