"This rating is from 17 year old me. I don't know what current age me would think. Sometimes current age me is a little jaded and unpleasant :P"

"Well written but kind of dull. "

“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.

You can change the way people live their lives. That's the only lasting thing you can create.”
