Patricia A. McKillip Quote

How you know me here, now, even when nothing or anyone else in this place is familiar. I might have been wandering through your dream, but you knew immediately which of me will bring you paper.'He was silent for so long, still clasping her wrist, that she thought he must have fallen asleep without knowing it. He said finally, 'Say that again.''I can't,' she answered helplessly. 'It was just a thought. I gave it to you.''Something about dreams coming to life--''That's not what I said.
