Neil Gaiman is awesome

I'm partway through The Ocean at the End of the Lane: A Novel
“Nobody actually looks like what they really are on the inside,” Lettie tells the boy. “Grown-ups don’t look like grown-ups on the inside either. Outside, they’re big and thoughtless and they always know what they’re doing. Inside, they look just like they always have. Like they did when they were your age. The truth is, there aren’t any grown-ups. Not one, in the whole wide world … Except for Granny, of course.”
- Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane
I highly recommend the audiobook. Gaiman reads it himself and his voice is great.
