Darkness Quotes
-
Mom always says all sorts of shit goes down in the world, and it’s up to me to decide how to take it.

It’s always there, but sometimes hard to see.

The wind outside nested in each tree, prowled the sidewalks in invisible treads like unseen cats. Tom Skelton shivered. Anyone could see that the wind was a special wind this night, and the darkness took on a special feel because it was All Hallows' Eve.

From kitchen windows drifted two pumpkin smells: gourds being cut, pies being baked.

Into each I went, too, split in my dimension to replicate across the universe of homes.
Blake Butler

John Ruskin
