Nightly Quotes (page 120)

F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "The unwelcome November rain had perversely stolen the day's..."
The unwelcome November rain had perversely stolen the day's last hour and pawned it with that ancient fence, the night. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Hunger has always been more or less at my elbow when I played, but now I began to wake up at night to find hunger standing at my bedside, staring at my gauntly. Richard Wright
He thought: that's certainly how it starts. One day a person puts his legs up on a bench, then night comes and he falls asleep. That's how it happens that one fine day a person joins the tramps and turns into one of them. Milan Kundera
Love is not a hot-house flower, but a wild plant, born of a wet night, born of an hour of sunshine; sprung from wild seed, blown along the road by a wild wind. A wild plant that, when it blooms by chance within the hedge of our gardens, we call a flower; and when it blooms outside we call a weed; but, flower or weed, whose scent and colour are always, wild! John Galsworthy
In the cellars of the night, when the mind starts moving around old trunks of bad times, the pain of this and the same of that, the memory of a small boldness is a hand to hold. John Leonard
Thornton Wilder quote: "There is no drunkenness equal to that of remembering whispered..."
There is no drunkenness equal to that of remembering whispered words in the night. Thornton Wilder
Peter S. Beagle quote: "Outside, the night lay coiled in the street, cobra-cold and..."
Outside, the night lay coiled in the street, cobra-cold and scaled with stars. Peter S. Beagle
The Pope would have an easier job than the President of the United States in adopting a change of course. He has no Congress alongside him as a legislative body nor a Supreme Court as a judiciary. He is absolute head of government, legislator and supreme judge in the church. If he wanted to, he could authorize contraception over night, permit the marriage of priests, make possible the ordination of women and allow eucharistic fellowship with this Protestant churches. What would a Pope do who... Hans Kung
P. D. James quote: "Not so much two ships passing in the night as two ships..."
Not so much two ships passing in the night as two ships sailing together for a time but always bound for different ports. P. D. James
When one does something, one must do it wholly and well. Those bastard existences where you sell suet all day and write poetry at night are made for mediocre minds? like those horses that are equally good for saddle and carriage, the worst kind, that can neither jump a ditch nor pull a plow. Gustave Flaubert
The mind-is not the heart. I may yet live, as I know others live, To wish in vain to let go with the mind-Of cares, at night, to sleep; but nothing tells me. That I need learn to let go with the heart. Robert Frost
Keep me up till five because all your stars are out, and for no other reason…Oh dare to do it Buddy! Trust your heart. You’re a deserving craftsman. It would never betray you. Good night. I’m feeling very much over-excited now, and a little dramatic, but I think I’d give almost anything on earth to see you writing a something, an anything, a poem, a tree, that was really and truly after your own heart. J. D. Salinger
If every life is a river, then it's little wonder that we do not even notice the changes that occur until we are far out in the darkest sea. One day you look around and nothing is familiar, not even your own face. My name once meant daughter, grandaughter, friend, sister, beloved. Now those words mean only what their letters spell out; Star in the night sky. Truth in the darkness. I have crossed over to a place where I never thought I'd be. I am someone I would have never imagined. A... Alice Hoffman
Dusk is just an illusion because the sun is either above the horizon or below it. And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are there cannot be one without the other yet they cannot exist at the same time. How would it feel I remember wondering to be always together yet forever apart? Nicholas Sparks
Ray Bradbury quote: "A good night sleep, or a ten minute bawl, or a pint of..."
A good night sleep, or a ten minute bawl, or a pint of chocolate ice cream, or all three together, is good medicine. Ray Bradbury
