Night Quote by Victoria Schwab

“Everything seems different at night. Defined. Beyond the window, the world is full of shadows, all pressed together in harsh relief, somehow sharper than they ever were in daylight. Sounds seem sharper,too, at night. A whistle. A crack. A child's whisper.” quote by Victoria Schwab
