More Quotes from Neil Gaiman:
Everything that's happened so far has been some kind of especially vivid dream. All we have to believe with is our senses, the tools we use to perceive the world: our sight, our touch, our memory.

And even if we do not believe, then still we cannot travel in any other way than the road our senses show us; we must walk that road to the end.Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman
