Quote by Adam McHugh

“There is something almost subhuman about living the nocturnal life. You start to understand why all the paranormal creatures and fairytale beasts occupy the night.

That is the natural order of things, and woe unto you who disobeys the rule of the night.”

For a heartbeat, the reek of my own dungeon cell cloyed in my nose, and the crunch of moldy hay tickled my cheek- Rhys's hand tightened on my own. 'Just a bit farther.”

“I was good at expressing my ambitions and my desires, my anger, and my joy, but despite that, I failed at expressing my loneliness. I always stood up for what I believed in. But I also wanted to be loved, and the sad truth is that, sometimes, if you are too independent, people believe you don’t need love. You have to pay the price for your independence. You can be right, but being right when you have no one on your side isn’t actually a win.”
