In the Beautiful Dark Quotes

“Sometimes the sum of their years, the whiteness of their hair, the frailty of their bodies, reduced them in the eyes of others.”
― Melissa Payne, In the Beautiful Dark

“I want for these fragile souls to live in the messy wilderness that comes with each breath. Much is learned in death. But that knowledge waits for the last beat of a heart, and there is no sense in hastening what comes to us all. I do not envy the living. But we ache for what is lost.”
― Melissa Payne, In the Beautiful Dark
