“It’s—it’s always lightest j-just before the dark.”

“The sky is always beautiful. Even when it’s dark or rainy or cloudy, it’s still beautiful to look at”

“Darkness is a defining characteristic of Rotters. But it’s worthy to remember that darkness is just that—it’s dark—and what is being concealed in the dark is not just the horrible and fearsome, it’s also the inspirational and moving. Horror means nothing without happiness; dark means nothing without light. Rotters may make you feel scared, but hopefully it will also make you simply feel. It’s that kind of book, or at least I hope it is.”

“It’s so dark - as if all the lights are just there to make the other places seem darker.”

“It’s dark now and I am very tired. I love you, always. Time is nothing.”

“It’s always been you even when I didn’t want it to be, even when it broke my heart over and over again. It’s just always been you.”
