WE exist because they know, deep in their hearts, that we exist. When the last living thing has left this universe, then our task will be done. And we do not manipulate them. If anything they manipulate us. We are their toys. Their dolls, if you will. I love this quote... It's the whole idea behind American Gods! When we forget about them, they cease to exist.

Reminds me of how M Night Shyamalan put himself in Lady in the Water as a heroic, prophetic writer. Maybe it was at McKean's request, but it bugs me.

Does it bug anyone else that he is his own Mary Sue/model for the King of Dreams? It's actually what I always pictured. I thought Morpheus was Gaiman before I ever saw Gaiman. #16 “Lost Hearts.” That’s Neil Gaiman again on the cover. Does it bug anyone else that he is his own Mary Sue/model for the King of Dreams?
