Quote by Neil Gaiman

She seems so cool, so focused, so quiet, yet her eyes remain fixed upon the horizon. You think you know all there is to know about her immediately upon meeting her, but everything you think you know is wrong. Passion flows through her like a river of blood. She only looked away for a moment, and the mask slipped, and you fell. All your tomorrows start here.

She seems so cool, so focused, so quiet, yet her eyes remain

Summary

The subject appears composed and reserved, leading others to believe they understand her, only to realize their perception was misguided. The mention of passion flowing within her emphasizes the depth and intensity of her character. The turning point in the quote, where she momentarily drops her facade, symbolizes vulnerability and the potential for a transformative experience. It suggests that one's future is forever changed upon knowing her true self.
