From "American Gods: The Tenth Anniversary Edition: A Novel" by Neil Gaiman -
"'If you are to survive, you must believe.' 'Believe what?' asked Shadow. 'What should I believe?' He stared at Shadow, the buffalo man, and he drew himself up huge, and his eyes filled with fire. He opened his spit-flecked buffalo mouth and it was red inside with the flames that burned inside him, under the earth. 'Everything,' roared the buffalo man." |

Notable quotes, excerpts, and profound lines.
"The Six was everything that a book club book should be: short at two hundred pages, highbrow because it dealt with English history, and sexy because it focused on a man who had humped his way through half the English court. It was also critically acclaimed by the right people, meaning that the New York Times loved it but the masses did not."

“I’m no longer a child, and I still want to be, to live with the pirates. Because I want to live forever in wonder. The difference between me as a child and me as an adult is this and only this: when I was a child, I longed to travel into, to live in wonder. Now, I know, as much as I can know anything, that to travel into wonder is to be a wonder. So it matters little whether I travel by plane, by rowboat, or by book.”

Hey, I was going to finish the quote, but figured it was too redundant, too easy.
"They paved paradise, put up a parking lot." |
