If prisons—
O!
—therefore liberty.
It’s started.
If seas—
See it?
—therefore shores.
Hear it?
If silence,
Yes!
Therefore song.

Clive Barker, Abarat - Absolute Midnight (via thecolorofmagic)

handwrittenconfessions:

“I sometimes think I’m more suited to living in fantasy worlds like Abarat or Narnia than the real one.”

Sometimes? ALWAYS

The darkness always had their share. Without them, who would know when we walk in the light? Only when you become too grandiose ambitions is that they need to be challenged, disciplined and sometimes, if necessary, cut down for awhile. After they rise again, as it should be.

The Question How.
