Corinthian quotes from The Sandman

Corinthian

There are benefits to keeping one of The Endless close.

The Endless?

Corinthian

Did you think Death was the only one in charge? The Reaper has family, you know. Desire, Destiny, Despair-

Which one have I got, then?

Corinthian

...Dream.

What's the good of a god who governs dreams?

Corinthian

Not a god. More than a god. And are men not governed by their dreams?

Corinthian

Do you remember the being Roderick Burgess kept caged in his basement? Hmm? King of Dreams?

You're one of his?

Corinthian

I'm my own man now. With your help, I intend to stay that way.

Why do you need my help?

Corinthian

Because he's out of his cage and he's coming for us. You and me.

Why me? I never did anything to him.

Corinthian

Oh, you did though, Ethel. You stole from him.

When I left Roderick, I traded the sand and the helm for my life in America.

Corinthian

And the ruby?

The ruby … As you know, it does have the power to make dreams come true. But it also makes nightmares come true. My son, John, took the ruby from me and then the ruby took John.
