“Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe.” 
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 5: A Game of You

“When we hold each other, in the darkness, it doesn't make the darkness go away. The bad things are still out there. The nightmares still walking. When we hold each other we feel not safe, but better. "It's all right" we whisper, "I'm here, I love you." and we lie: "I'll never leave you." For just a moment or two the darkness doesn't seem so bad.” 
― Neil Gaiman, Neil Gaiman's Midnight Days

One of the best sandman stories for me, Ramadan from Fables and Reflections. Will actually read it again soon.
