Prelude to the Horizon Quotes

“I fall into those gaps sometimes.
You know, the gaps that open up in between thoughts.
I reach out for the walls. Every time. And I grasp at emptiness…
The gaps don’t have walls. You don’t need walls to climb out.
You don’t need a matchstick either;
light only makes your shadows look frightening.
You only need to search the darkness
for the old face, carbon paper and a white mask.”
― Arindam Mallick, Prelude to the Horizon

“I leave in the search of you
at the flourish of midnight every day…
when the fire inside is stoked by the mania of solitude,
and the blood declines to hold the insanity at bay.”
― Arindam Mallick, Prelude to the Horizon
