And for that, not even all- not even forever will be enough. — Eiry Nieves

At the end of the day, when the sun falls a willing prisoner of the night ... and humans, males and females alike, become submitted to the mistress of the dark, my mind begins to wander and wonder.

And there and then, between the play of reality and dreamland, I find my place. I find myself. — Eiry Nieves
