Delirium


You know the best thing about aeroplanes? Apart from the peanuts in the little silver bags, I mean. It's looking out of the windows at the clouds, and thinking, maybe I could go walking in there. Maybe it's a special place where everything's okay. Sometimes I do go walking in the clouds. But it's just cold and wet and empty, but when you look out of a plane it's a special world... and I like that.
-Delirium, Brief Lives


You know how she is when she gets an idea into her head. I mean, when one finally penetrates.-Desire describes Delirium, in SANDMAN #41: "Brief Lives:1"
It always rains on the unloved -- Wet dreams -- A fishing expedition -- She kisses wyverns (The Disneyland analogy) -- Dinner etiquette and chocolate lovers -- Desire swears by the first circle -- "Things are changing" -- What can possibly go wrong?
-Title of SANDMAN #42: "Brief Lives:2"


"I mean, does this always happen when a girlfriend walks out on him?""Not at all. For example, after the Nada affair he razed the Dreaming. It was a bleak, lonely desert for centures. I remember the first flower that grew. The first time he smiled again...-Matthew and Lucien, in
-SANDMAN #42: "Brief Lives:2"


She was no longer Delight, and the blossoms had already begun to fall in her domain, becoming smudged and formless colours, and she had no one to talk to...-Delight becomes Delirium, in
-SANDMAN #42: "Brief Lives:2"
