Quote by Marcel M. du Plessis

“Another cloud bank drew across the moon. In the darkness, she ate. She ate as the ravenous hunger spurred her on. She stripped flesh from bone and savoured the metallic warmth of blood on her tongue. She kept eating and ripping and chewing. Soon she would be full. Soon. Almost.”

Ink in the shape of ghosts and curses. Beauty corrupted by darkness.”

“No estoy segura, pero hay algo en la oscuridad, en el silencio de esta hora, que crea lenguaje propio. La oscuridad genera una extraña libertad, una vulnerabilidad aterradora que nos permitimos justo en el momento equivocado, engañados por la oscuridad al pensar que guardará nuestros secretos. Nos olvidamos que la oscuridad no es una manta; nos olvidamos de que el sol saldrá pronto. Pero, al menos en ese momento, nos sentimos lo bastante valientes para decir cosas que nunca diríamos a la luz del dia.”

“Without hesitation I would say that we should sing through the night. And that is not to say that we should enjoy the night or relish the darkness. I say that we should sing through the night because the darkness is only as deep as the light that is never more than a horizon away. And you will never find yourself in any night that is not turning in the direction of that horizon.”
