Cold night Quote by Anonymous
““I stand quietly on the beach. My silence shields me from faraway waves that smell of sunken ships. My silence shelters me from distant boats chasing enemies and protects me from the cold night wind seeking drunkards. I sit on a sandy beach and my silence hides me from the stars.””
