First Light Quotes

a book and never come out again? I loved reading so much I wanted
to be a part of it, and there were some books I could have stayed in
for ever.”
― Peter Ackroyd, First Light

“Sometimes the silences, the gaps, tell us more than
anything else.”
― Peter Ackroyd, First Light

“Time. In another time. Either before or after. They were not stars,
but fires. They were the souls of birds. They were entries into the
vast fire. They were the eyes of the dead. And in the darkness they
were imprisoned by them.”
― Peter Ackroyd, First Light
