"The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as
perfect as you can imagine it. because its only intangible ideas,
concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. stone crumbles. wood rots.
people, well, they die. but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a
legend, they can go on and on."
