An excerpt from ‘Fragile Things’ by Neil Geiman
‘As I write this now, it occurs to me that the peculiarity of most things we think as fragile is how tough they truly are… Hearts may break, but hearts are the toughest of muscles able to pump for a lifetime, seventy times a minute, and scarcely falter along the way. Even dreams, the most delicate and intangible of things, can prove remarkably difficult to kill.
Stories… they are words on the air, composed of sounds and ideas – abstract, invisible, gone once they’ve been spoken and what could be more frail than that?‘
