Sono molto oltre la metà, mi mancano circa 250 pagine.
Sono già preoccupata che sta per finire.
Non penso che guarderò la serie. Magari tra qualche anno.
Viva Neil Gaiman.
“I can believe things that are true and things
that aren't true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they're
true or not. I can believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny
and the Beatles and Marilyn Monroe and Elvis and Mister Ed. Listen - I
believe that people are perfectable, that knowledge is infinite, that
the world is run by secret banking cartels and is visited by aliens on a
regular basis, nice ones that look like wrinkled lemurs and bad ones
who mutilate cattle and want our water and our women. I believe
that the future sucks and I believe that the future rocks and I believe
that one day White Buffalo Woman is going to come back and kick
everyone's ass. I believe that all men are just overgrown boys with deep
problems communicating and that the decline in good sex in America is
coincident with the decline in drive-in movie theaters from state to
state. I believe that all politicians are unprincipled crooks
and I still believe that they are better than the alternative. I believe
that California is going to sink into the sea when the big one comes,
while Florida is going to dissolve into madness and alligators and toxic
waste. I believe that antibacterial soap is destroying our
resistance to dirt and disease so that one day we'll all be wiped out by
the common cold like martians in War of the Worlds. I believe
that the greatest poets of the last century were Edith Sitwell and Don
Marquis, that jade is dried dragon sperm, and that thousands of years
ago in a former life I was a one-armed Siberian shaman. I
believe that mankind's destiny lies in the stars. I believe that candy
really did taste better when I was a kid, that it's aerodynamically
impossible for a bumble bee to fly, that light is a wave and a particle,
that there's a cat in a box somewhere who's alive and dead at the same
time (although if they don't ever open the box to feed it it'll
eventually just be two different kinds of dead), and that there are
stars in the universe billions of years older than the universe itself. I
believe in a personal god who cares about me and worries and oversees
everything I do. I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in
motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn't even know
that I'm alive. I believe in an empty and godless universe of causal
chaos, background noise, and sheer blind luck. I believe that
anyone who says sex is overrated just hasn't done it properly. I believe
that anyone who claims to know what's going on will lie about the
little things too. I believe in absolute honesty and sensible
social lies. I believe in a woman's right to choose, a baby's right to
live, that while all human life is sacred there's nothing wrong with the
death penalty if you can trust the legal system implicitly, and that no
one but a moron would ever trust the legal system. I believe
that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what
happens when you're alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy
it.”
