Monday blues hitting me early tonight, so I turned to my favourite author for solace, and I found this:
“I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school.
1) They don't teach you how to love somebody.
2) They don't teach you how to be famous.
3) They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor.
4) They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer.
5) They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind.
6) They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying.
7) They don't teach you anything worth knowing.”
I disagree with (7). I would never had known Gaiman and his gallery of fully-fleshed out characters and personas were it not for school.
Asides from that, spot-on.
