“There is a secret earth gyrm, a place where the unbelievable, the unthinkable, the terrible, takes place every day. A place hidden by the veils of ignorance and cowardice and fear. On occasions we glimpse it, when its hidden terrors fall through that veil into plain sight, but mostly we just dismiss it as something else, somewhere else, to be dealt with by someone else. Long ago I found the veil and lifted it. And knowing as I do what is behind, what those behind it get away with, with impunity ... I cannot grow old basking on the bank of some safe-haven, no.”

“We are pushed towards eternal silence from the moment we are born. So when sadness tries to stifle us, we must not give in. We must keep whispering.”

“The world is full of people who will help you manufacture tornados in order to blow out a match.”

“Only someone wishing to disappear would ever strive to 'fit in'.”

“You smile and draw me near and whisper, "Do as dreamers do."I lean to you and whisper in your ear, "I cannot dream tonight my Dear. For it is you.”

“It's sad that in a world of billions, people can still feel isolated and alone. Sometimes all it takes to brighten up someone's day is a smile or kind word, or the generous actions of a complete stranger. Small things, the tiny details, these are the things that matter in life — the little glint in the eye, curve of a lip, nod of a head, wave of a hand — such minuscule movements have huge ripple effects.”

“There is greater clarity in the still waters of sadness, something not found in the babbling brooks of more sought after emotions.”

“Pencil. Paper. Forget the world.”

“Nothing listens as well as a blank page.”

“This is for you, for your breath, whose absence would lessen a greater world.”

“And the man who dreamt of flight has tripped and fallen in a hole.”
