"it occurs to me that the peculiarity of most things we think of as fragile is how tough they truly are. there were tricks we did with eggs, as children, to show how they were, in reality, tiny load-bearing marble halls; while the beat of the wings of a butterfly in the right place, we are told, can create a hurricane across an ocean. hearts may break, but hearts are the toughest of muscles, able to pump for a lifetime, seventy times a minute, and scarecely falter along the way. even dreams, the most delicate and intangible of things, can prove remarkably difficult to kill.."
a neil gaiman quote - from the introduction to 'fragile things'.. the main thing that's keeping me sane nowadays (after i managed to finish the mystery case file game, ravenhearst tonight). i love this book! the short stories are weird.. and soooooo suited to me.
so i'm fragile. and tough, i hope. oh well. time will tell..
