Neil Gaiman “The Graveyard Book” and living

by Nettie Hartsock on June 30, 2009

“You’re alive, Bod. That means you have infinite potential. You can do anything, make anything, dream anything. If you change the world, the world will change. Potential. Once you’re dead, it’s gone. Over. You’ve made what you’ve made, dreamed your dream, written your name. You may be buried here, you may even walk. But that potential is finished.”

If you only read “The Graveyard Book” by Neil Gaiman, for that one quote, it will have been worth it. The book is glorious.
