Nocte (The Nocte Trilogy, #1) QUOTES

1 " Insomniacs know that there is something about the night. A darkness, an energy, a mystery that shrouds things. It hides things at the same time as it illuminates them. It is this thing that allows us to examine our thoughts in a way that we can't during the day. It is this thing that brings truth and clarity. "

No one hears my monsters but me.
