"Night was spreading slowly around the spinning Earth.……" — Neil Gaiman

"Night was spreading slowly around the spinning Earth. It should have been full of pinpricks of light. It was not. There were five billion people down there. What was going to happen soon would make barbarism look like a picnic - hot, nasty, and eventually given over to the ants."

— Neil Gaiman
