“That life was richer,' a voice deep in his mind whispered. 'This one is truer,' whispered another, even deeper.”

“A loud voice cannot compete with a clear voice, even if it's a whisper.”

“His voice sounded like molten metal. As if he had something thick at the back of his throat and it was making him sound deeper and richer than he actually was.”

“A moment later, in an even fainter voice, he whispered, "Do not mourn me”

“Deep down, below the surface of the average man's conscience, he hears a voice whispering, "There is something not right," no matter how much his rightness is supported by public opinion or moral code.”

“In El-harím, there lived a man, a man with yellow eyes.To me, he said, "Beware the whispers, for they whisper lies.Do not wrestle with the demons of the dark,Else upon your mind they'll place a mark;Do not listen to the shadows of the deep,Else they haunt you even when you sleep.”
