Nocturne Quotes

“Some dreams are terrifying, but those are likely to fade with time. It is the sweetest dreams that stay with us, that make us long for things that perhaps we can never really achieve. For places we can never go, and for people—people we love that are now gone.” I shivered because it was true, because there were dreams I had cried over, dreams that had inevitably met their ends even though I wasn’t finished with them. Dreams like a tooth being torn from my gums, a raw, empty spot that I poked with my tongue, sore to the touch. Dreams I had wanted to turn inside out so that they were real and my reality only a dream.”
