Abarat Quote by Clive Barker
““Abaratians are very much about living in the moment; living life because that's what we've got, we've got today, we've got now, we've got being alive now and we have to be awake and alive in the moment and not asleep in our lives. And they would find the idea of sleeping through your life, of being bored - they would think that was very stupid - why would you be bored when there's so much to do and so much to see and so much to be?””

![“I resent that the hours seem boring now, emptier. Going through the motions gives you plenty of time to examine the motions. I used to find this interesting. Now it has taken on the taint of meaninglessness. [...] This is the trap of having something to live for: Everything else seems lifeless.” quote by David Levithan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/ca5/david-levithan-67_time_i-resent-that-the-hours-seem-boring-now_1998177.jpg)
