Nightly Quotes (page 117)

It was a day like a slow-motion video of twilight. Uneventful, to put it mildly. The lead gray of the sky mixed ever so slowly with black, finally blending into night. Just another quality of melancholy. As if there were only two colors in the world, gray and black, shifting back and forth at regular intervals. Haruki Murakami
It was quiet in the cell. Rubashov heard only the creaking of his steps on the tiles. Six and a half steps to the door, whence they must come to fetch him, six and a half steps to the window, behind which night was falling. Soon it would be over. But when he asked himself, For what actually are you dying? he found no answer. Arthur Koestler
On I’ll pass, dragging my huge love behind me. On what feverish night, deliria-ridden, by what Goliaths was I begot – I, so big and by no one needed? Vladimir Mayakovsky
Bring her back, hell, Grant thought, dragging a hand through his hair. He'd beg, plead, grovel, whatever it took to make her give him another chance. It was her fault, he decided with a quick switch back to fury. Her fault, that he was acting like a maniac. He hadn't had a decent night's sleep in over two weeks. And the solitude he'd always prized was threatening to smother him. If he didn't find her soon, he'd lose what was left of his mind. Nora Roberts
People simply disappeared, always during the night. Your name was removed from the registers, every record of everything you had ever done was wiped out, your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten. You were abolished, annihilated: vaporized was the usual word. George Orwell
Rudyard Kipling quote: "When the moon gets up and night comes, he is the Cat that..."
When the moon gets up and night comes, he is the Cat that walks by himself, and all places are alike to him. Rudyard Kipling
If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is. Charles Bukowski
I love this quote uttered by the character Widget in The Night Circus. He credits it to Herr Thiessen but knows it is a literary quote by the another author."Wine is bottled poetry Robert Louis Stevenson
The day succeeding this remarkable Midsummer night, proved no common day. I do not mean that it brought signs in heaven above, or portents on the earth beneath; nor do I allude to meteorological phenomena, to storm, flood, or whirlwind. On the contrary: the sun rose jocund, with a July face. Morning decked her beauty with rubies, and so filled her lap with roses, that they fell from her in showers, making her path blush: the Hours woke fresh as nymphs, and emptying on the early hills their... Charlotte Bronte

I’ll be marching through the morning, Marching through the night, Moving 'cross the borders Of My Secret Life. Leonard Cohen
Bram Stoker quote: "But this night our feet must tread in thorny paths, or later,..."
But this night our feet must tread in thorny paths, or later, and for ever, the feet you love must walk in paths of flame! Bram Stoker
God has created nights well-populatedwith dreams, crowded with mirror images, so that man may feel that he is nothing morethan vain reflection. That's what frightens us. Jorge Luis Borges
Marvelous wonders don't have to happen of a sudden, the way they do in the Arabian Nights. They can also take a long time, like crystals growing, or minds changing, or leaves turning. The trick is to keep an eye peeled, so they don't slip by unappreciated. Ken Kesey
And all at once the heavy night. Fell from my eyes and I could see, --A drenched and dripping apple-tree, A last long line of silver rain, A sky grown clear and blue again. And as I looked a quickening gust. Of wind blew up to me and thrust. Into my face a miracle. Of orchard-breath, and with the smell, --I know not how such things can be! --I breathed my soul back into me. Ah! Up then from the ground sprang IAnd hailed the earth with such a cry. As is not heard save from a man. Who has been... Edna St. Vincent Millay
John Milton quote: "I sung of Chaos and Eternal Night, Taught by the heav'nly Muse..."
I sung of Chaos and Eternal Night, Taught by the heav'nly Muse to venture down. The dark descent, and up to reascend... John Milton
