Was that what it was really like to be alive? The feeling of darkness dragging you forward? How could they live with it? And yet they did, and even seemed to find enjoyment in it, when surely the only sensible course would be to despair. Amazing. To feel you were a tiny living thing, sandwiched between two cliffs of darkness. How could they stand to be alive? Terry Pratchett
About This Quote

The quote is from the book "The Day of the Triffids" by John Wyndham. It is a science fiction novel that describes a world where there are no bright lights or sounds, just darkness. The darkness has affected the humans to the point where they started having fun with this darkness. They started to enjoy it because it made them feel alive, totally unaware of how bad it would become for them later on.

Imprinting totally took over their lives and they could not see what was happening to them. What would happen if they did not realize what was happening?
