In the country the darkness of night is friendly and familiar, but in a city, with its blaze of lights, it is unnatural, hostile and menacing. It is like a monstrous vulture that hovers, biding its time.
Somerset Maugham
For the night shows stars and women in a better light.
Lord Byron
We wake in the night, to stereophonic silence.
Mignon McLaughlin
These blessed candles of the night.
William Shakespeare
Every evening I turn my worries over to God. He's going to be up all night anyway.
Mary C. Crowley
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
Night is the other half of life, and the better half.
Goethe
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.
Robert Southey
