― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Acheron

“I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.”
― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

“To talk well and eloquently is a very great art, but that an equally great one is to know the right moment to stop.”
― Mozart Wolfgang Amadeus / Traeg
