Since you've made this comment about two weeks ago, I have been coming back to it repeatedly, especially the Neil Gaiman quotation. Is "Anansi Boys" a poem or a novel?
"who you are is not a function of where you are" - Off Minor
"You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in. No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They know it's going to rise tomorrow." - Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
"The color of his pallor, however, was a curiously basic white - unmixed, that is, with the greens and yellows of guilt or abject contrition. It was very like the standard bloodlessness in the face of a small boy who loves animals to distraction, all animals, and who has just seen his favorite, bunny-loving sister's expression as she opened the box containing his birthday present to her - a freshly caught young cobra, with a red ribbon tied in an awkward bow around its neck." - Franny & Zooey

Although fairly self-explanatory, I'd love to hear what your interpretation is of this quote.
