I just read this line on someone's livejournal (I don't want to bring over context, because it would involve a lengthy discussion on what is transgressive in fandom and what isn't), but this particular sentence struck me because of its wording. I think I understand now how "cellar door" can be considered the most beautiful phrase in the English language, because I just had a reaction to this sentence that was almost like appreciating art.

"And then I'll creep sullenly back into my hermit crab shell and continue to make up my own little world using shadow puppetry and a bare light bulb, and after a while I feel sane again."

I wish I could write like that.
