But we have a solution. Here are some quotes that are great for people who are scared of the night.

“Oh, we can populate the dark with horrors, even we who think ourselves informed and sure, believing nothing we cannot measure or weigh.

If I knew they were there, I would have weapons against them, charms, prayers, some kind of alliance with forces equally strong but on my side. Knowing they had not there made me defenseless against them and perhaps more afraid.”
