Quotes
The moonlight was so bright that it seemed to turn the night into day.
Fear is a tyrant and a despot, more terrible than the rack, more potent than the stake.
For the first time, I realised, with a sense of horror, that I was not alone.
In the presence of the unknown, we are all children.
The most terrible thing is not the darkness, but the creatures that the darkness conceals.
What is a dream but reality’s reflection in the mirror of our souls?
There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in our philosophy.
Sometimes, the most terrifying things are those we cannot see.
A shadow seemed to fall across my heart, chilling it with a sense of impending doom.
There is a point at which curiosity becomes dangerous.
I felt as if an icy hand had gripped my soul.
It is the unknown which haunts us the most.
