Night Quotes

These blessed candles of the night.

She wore far too much rouge last night and not quite enough clothes. That is always a sign of despair in a woman.

The night walked down the sky with the moon in her hand.

Frederic Lawrence Knowles

Every evening I turn my worries over to God. He's going to be up all night anyway.

Night, like a giant, fills the church, from pavement to roof, and holds dominion through the silent hours. Pale dawn again comes peeping through the windows: and, giving place to day, sees night withdraw into the vaults, and follows it, and drives it out, and hides among the dead.

Charles Dickens

Night is a stealthy, evil Raven, Wrapt to the eyes in his black wings.

Thomas Bailey Aldrich

I love night more than day--she is so lovely; But I love night the most because she brings My love to me in dreams which scarcely lie

Philip James Bailey

The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one; Yet the light of the bright world dies With the dying sun. The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one: Yet the light of a whole life dies When love is done.

Francis William Bourdillon

A decision made at night may be changed in the morning.

Samoan Proverb

How beautiful is night! A dewy freshness fills the silent air; No mist obscures, nor cloud, nor speck, nor stain, Breaks the serene of heaven.

Antoine de saint-exupery

The Night has a thousand eyes, And the Day but one; Yet the light of the bright world dies With the dying sun. The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one; Yet the light of a whole life dies When love is done.

Francis William Bourdillon

On such a night, when Air has loosed Its guardian grasp on blood and brain, Old terrors then of god or ghost Creep from their caves to life again.

Robert Seymour Bridges

One summer night, out on a flat headland, all but surrounded by the waters of the bay, the horizons were remote and distant rims on the edge of space. Millions of stars blazed in darkness, and on the far shore a few lights burned in cottages. Otherwise there was no reminder of human life. My companion and I were alone with the stars: the misty river of the Milky Way flowing across the sky, the patterns of the constellations standing out bright and clear, a blazing planet low on the horizon. It occurred to me that if this were a sight that could be seen only once in a century, this little headland would be thronged with spectators. But it can be see many scores of nights in any year, and so the lights burned in the cottages and the inhabitants probably gave not a thought to the beauty overhead; and because they could see it almost any night, perhaps they never will.

Rachel Carson

Night, the mother of fear and mystery, was coming upon me.

H. G. Wells

He wanted me to beat him up! It was an open invitation! Late at night he picked me up an act of open provocation!

Attila the Stockbroker

I'm a high night flier and a rainbow rider And a straight-shooting son of a gun.

Hoyt Wayne Axton
