Quote by Delia Owens

“Sunsets are never simple. Twilight is refracted and reflected but never true. Eventide is a disguise covering tracks, covering lies. We don't care that dusk deceives. We see brilliant colors, and never learn the sun has dropped beneath the earth by the time we see the burn. Sunsets are in disguise, covering truths, covering lies.”
