So if people look down on you for crying for fictional characters, you should give them a gentle, pitying look and feel bad for them. If they've never crued for a fictional character then you never loved one(and never the joy of its feelings). If they never cried at a book, a movie, a piece of music, then they've missed one of the greatest pleasures life has to offer. Just because fiction does not contain things that are real doesn't mean it contains the truth and we find it through the alchemy of our tears. -Cassandra Clare.
