the price of getting what you want...

"I don't want whatever I want. Nobody does. Not really. What kind of fun would it be if I just got everything I ever wanted just like that, and it didn't mean anything. What then...?"

"All your questions can be answered, if that is what you want. But once you learn your answers, you can never unlearn them..."

“But he did not understand the price. Mortals never do. They only see the prize. Their hearts desire, their dream....But the price of getting what you want is getting what once you wanted...”

- Neil Gaiman
