...it was imaginative people who tended to lie. Lying required making stuff up, and only imaginative people were good at that.
John ConnollyHere is a truth, a truth by which to live: there is hope. There is always hope. If we choose to abandon it, our souls will turn to ash and blow away.
John ConnollyOnce upon a time – for that is how all stories should begin – there was a boy who lost his mother.
John ConnollyDavid's mother would often tell him stories were alive. They weren't alive in the way people were alive,or even dogs or cats. People were alive whether you chose to notice them or not, while dogs tended to make you notice them if they decided that you weren't paying enough attention. Cats, meanwhile, were very good at pretending people didn't exist at all when it suited them.
