Zitate und Sprüche aus Sandman

Die Träume und Albträume scheinen ihren Gebieter nicht mehr zu erkennen. Ich werde sie an mich erinnern.

The dreams and nightmares no longer seem to recognize their master. I will remind them.

Ich bin der König des Traumreiches, des Reiches der Albträume ebenso.

I'm the King of Dreams, ruler of the nightmare realm.

Heute Abend werden wir erreichen, was keiner je angestrebt hat. Wir beschwören und fesseln den Tod.

Tonight, we will achieve what no one has even attempted. We will summon and imprison death.

The price of getting what you want is getting what you once wanted.

What power would Hell have if those here imprisoned were not able to dream of Heaven?

For love is no part of the dreamworld. Love belongs to Desire, and Desire is always cruel.

Never trust the storyteller. Only trust the story.

Dreams shape the world.

You hurt. It's okay. I hurt too. Hold my hand.

"I must confess, I have always wondered what lay beyond life, my dear."

"Is there a word for forgetting the name of someone when you want to introduce them to someone else at the same time you realize you've forgotten the name of the person you're introducing them to as well?"

"You will forget. Death or life will take him from your minds."
"I know," whispered Despair, in her distant, empty voice. "But I shall remember him."

Writers are liars my dear, surely you know that by now?

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.

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable.

One thing I've learned. You can know anything. It's all there. You just have to find it.

All around me darkness gathers,
Fading is the sun that shone,
We must speak of other matters,
You can be me when I'm gone

Flowers gathered in the morning,
Afternoon they blossom on,
Still are withered in the evening,
You can be me when I'm gone.
