The Sandman Vol. 7: Brief Lives by Neil Gaiman
slow-paced
4.0
more about delirium then despair and destruction... their conversation and all-over-the-place-topics is actually one of the scenes I wanna go back to someday. and the new art style! (as crazy as Delirium, how I love that???!)
p.s. Del best girl ever, literally, end of convo.
excerpts:
issue #41
"Change. Change. Change. Change... CHANGE. Change. Chaaaaange. When you say words a lot they don't mean anything. Or maybe they don't mean anything anyway, and we just think they do."
issue #43
"You lived what anybody gets, Bernie. You got a lifetime. No more. No less. You got a lifetime."
"You know the best thing about aeroplanes? It's looking out of the window at the clouds, and thinking, maybe I could go walking in there. Maybe it's a special place where everything's okay. Sometimes I do go walking in the clouds, but it's just cold and wet and empty, but when you look out of a place it's a special world... and I like that."
issue #48
"I like the stars. It's the illusion of permanence, I think. I mean, they're always flaring up and caving in and going out. But from here, I can pretend... that things last. I can pretend that lives last longer than moment. Gods come, and gods go. Mortals flicker and flash and face. Worlds don't last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. But I can pretend."
