1 " Even as a child, she had preferred night to day, had enjoyed sitting out in the yard after sunset, under the star-speckled sky listening to frogs and crickets. Darkness soothed. It softened the sharp edges of the world, toned down the too-harsh colors. With the coming of twilight, the sky seemed to recede; the universe expanded. The night was bigger than the day, and in its realm, life seemed to have more possibilities. "

2 " Familiarity has a way of filing the sharp edges off our feelings for other people. You'll see. "
― Scott Lynch , The Republic of Thieves (Gentleman Bastard, #3)
