Time has taught me not to lose hope, yet not to trust too much in hope either.

Time goes faster the more hollow it is. Lives with no meaning go straight past you, like trains that don’t stop at your station.

People only disappear when they have somewhere to go

That's what happens when people reach old age; nobody remembers they've been bastards too.

Mention the gothic, and many readers will probably picture gloomy castles and an assortment of sinister Victoriana. However, the truth is that the gothic genre has continued to flourish and evolve since the days of Bram Stoker, producing some of its most interesting and accomplished examples in the 20th century - in literature, film and beyond.

Memories are worse than bullets.

Every book has a soul, the soul of the person who wrote it and the soul of those who read it and dream about it.
