'All right,' said Susan. 'I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need . . . fantasies to make life bearable.'

REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.

-Terry Pratchett, The Hogfather.


'You make us sound mad,' said Susan.

I have got a CD for you. And some Goth clothes, but that's not really exciting, 'cause they were yours to begin with.
