“it was only me, a thousand blinking stars, and the beauty of darkness stretched to the ends of the universe, snuffing out the endless games of courts and kingdoms.”
― Mary E. Pearson, The Beauty of Darkness

“Ultimately, your theme will find you. You don't have to go looking for it.”
― Richard Russo

“Love didn’t end all at once, no matter how much you needed it to or how inconvenient it was. You couldn’t command love to stop any more than a marriage document could order it to appear. Maybe love had to bleed away a drop at a time until your heart was numb and cold and mostly dead.”
― Mary E. Pearson, The Beauty of Darkness

“Darkness was a beautiful thing. The kiss of a shadow. A caress as soft as moonlight.”
― Mary E. Pearson, The Beauty of Darkness
