“I’m not afraid of the darkness outside. It’s the darkness inside houses I don’t like.”

“I don’t like this, Artemis. I’m not a dog to be chained outside your house because you’re afraid I’ll piss on your rug. (Acheron)”

“You musn’t be afraid of the dark.’‘I’m not,’ said Shadow. ‘I’m afraid of the people in the dark.”

“Outside it was dark, but not as dark as it was inside of me.”

“Don't be afraid, the darkness you're in is no greater than the darkness inside your own body, they are two darknesses separated by a skin, I bet you've never thought of that, you carry a darkness about with you all the time and that doesn't frighten you...my dear chap, you have to learn to live with the darkness outside just as you learned to live with the darkness inside”

“…I set the house on fire. It’s dark outside. The fire tears down the darkness. I turn my back to the place and leave, not knowing where. And suddenly I understand…All dreams are dead now.”
