I am off on an adventure for falafel.
It won’t be a very long adventure. There’s a Mediterranean place just down the street from me. Probably a 5 minute walk.

– Warren Ellis
I spend a lot of time looking at quotations. I found this one and I don’t know where it’s from or when he said it, but it’s so perfect. It really sums Warren up nicely: simultaneously the best and worst thing you’ve ever known.
