1 " Remember that on any world the wind eventually wears away the stone, because the stone can only crumble; the wind can change. "

― A.C. Crispin , Time for Yesterday

2 " People have the notion of saving the world by shifting things around, changing the rules, and who’s on top, and so forth. No, no! Any world is a valid world if it’s alive. The thing to do is to bring life to it, and the only way to do that is to find in your own case where the life is and become alive yourself. "

― Joseph Campbell , The Power of Myth

3 " If you really want peace in any world you have to learn to say nothing. "

― Anne Rice , Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis (The Vampire Chronicles, #12)

4 " There is more magic in our own world than in any world of fantasy. "

5 " Lives there upon any world such another as John Carter, Prince of Helium? Lives there another man who could fight his way back and forth across a warlike planet, facing savage beasts and hordes of savage men, for the love of a woman? "

And because of that, you have, in a world that likes its shiny labels, no true identity. "

7 " Cats don’t have names,” it said.

“No?” said Coraline.

“No,” said the cat. “Now, you people have names. That’s because you don’t know who you are. We know who we are, so we don’t need names.”

There was something irritatingly self-centered about the cat, Coraline decided. As if it were, in its opinion, the only thing in any world or place that could possibly be of any importance.

Half of her wanted to be very rude to it; the other half of her wanted to be polite and deferential. The polite half won. "

― Neil Gaiman
