What’s romance without a little danger, a little spice?
Once you get too comfortable with someone, do the
hidden passages behind your heart become sealed to
the light forever?
In the most important pursuits of life, an object often flatters and charms at a distance, which vanishes into nothing as we approach it, and ’tis well if it leaves only disappointment in our hearts.
Quotation from Ann Radcliffe, On the Supernatural in Poetry (The Literary Gothic) (pdf file)
Don’t forget to darken your house tonight, so hungry vampires will come looking for bloodsweets.
