Evangeline Walton Quotes

He Asked, Looking At Her Dark-rimmed Eyes, "You Do Not Sleep?"
She Shivered. "No. I Do Not Want To Sleep Any More. I Sleep Too Much Already. It Is So Cold, Where Quincy Sends Me In My Sleep. Deep Into The House, Farther In, Not Into The House We See. It Is As If That House Were A Face, And When You See A Face You Can't See The Brain Or The Thoughts Of The Person Behind It. And It Is So Strange - The House Inside The House."
