“Darkness bound them closer than light.”

“The world is dark, and light is precious.Come closer, dear reader.You must trust me.I am telling you a story.”

“Light is shallow; darkness is infinitely deep. Light is always bounded, it has boundaries. Darkness has no boundaries, it is unbounded. Light comes and goes; darkness always is. When there is light you cannot see it. When light is not there you can see it. But it is always there; you cannot cause it. Light has a cause. You burn the fire, you put on wood. When the wood is finished the light will be gone. It is caused, hence it is an effect. But darkness is not caused by anything, it is not an effect. It is uncaused eternity.”

“There were Arcadians here, Katagaria, Dark-Hunters, demons, humans, and who knew what else. By rights none of them should get along and yet they were together tonight. Bound by something other than blood. They were bound together by their hearts.’ (Gallagher)”

“Darkness, real darkness, was more than just a lack of light.”

“Life and death appeared to me ideal bounds, which I should first break through, and pour a torrent of light into our dark world.”
