"I like the stars. It's the illusion of permanence, I think. I mean, they are always flaring up and caving 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, Brief Lives
