“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...I can pretend that things last. I can pretend that lives last longer than moments.
Gods come, and gods go. Mortals flicker and flash and fade. 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...”
-Neil Gaiman, The Sandman
