"The city never sleeps, and neither does its darkness."

Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.

Pleasure is the greatest good, and we should seek it and avoid pain.
