The Ox-Bow Incident, Walter Van Tilburg Clark

There's a kind of insanity that comes from being between walls and under a roof. You're too cooped up, and don't get a chance to test ideas against the real size of things. That's true about day and night, too; night's like a room; it makes the little things in your head too important. A man's not clear-headed at night.
