Neil Gaiman: Stardust

It`s not hard to own something. Or everything. You just have to know that it`s yours, and then be willing to let it go.

You are young, and in love. [...] Every young man in your position is the most miserable young man who ever lived.

Every lover is in his heart a madman, and in his head a minstrel.

All too often I write to find out what I think about a subject, not because I already know.

[You] could not help being amused every time another little human believed itself the center of its world, as each of us does.
