Darkness Before Dawn Quotes

“It was a darkness without time. It was an impenetrable darkness. To the right and left of me rose those terrible formless things of my imagination, which I could not see because there was no light. I could not see, but I dared not close my eyes lest the darkness crawl beneath my eyelids and suffocate me. I could only hear.

I could hear the darkness gathering against me and the silences that lay between the moving things.”
