“I’d learned long ago that people had angles. Some were long and complicated, a maze you’d never unravel until they had you thoroughly trapped. Others were painfully obvious. Two turns to the truth. And still others carefully masked the turn, hid it so you didn’t see it until it was too late, and you were too broken to turn around and retreat.” SadInsightfulDescriptive Imagery Book:By Blood & Blade Source: By Blood & Blade
“I listened as the insects began to hum from the oasis, loud even from the distance we were at. The stars began to wink and blink above us as the last vestiges of sunlight slipped behind the horizon. A desert wolf sent up a howl, its pack answering it with feral glee at the moon’s appearance. It was magical, the coming together of day and night, a complicated dance of light and dark. Small and large, everything seemed to be awake at twilight, praising Nicar for another day—whether rising to enjoy the night, or bedding down to rest.” DesertImageryNighttimeNighttime BeautyOasis Quotes Book:By the Sun and Stars Source: By the Sun and Stars
