  • Night Quote #1

    all hopes there, so close to each other,
    are pulled into the void every night;
    when a band of pale twinkles milking the way
    across the divine breadth of sky
    where every heart belongs.
    - From the poem The Universe In Blossom

    Munia Khan

  • Night Quote #2

    All men are brothers in the night.

    Peter V. Brett

  • Night Quote #3

    All night the earth and the heavens followed their usual arrangements. Stars passed: an immense tide hung over them. A silent sea raced back with the sun, its wave turn-over small, delicate and comfortless. The most glorious of all stars hung above the sun's threshold and went out. An hour later the sun governed the earth again, mist-chasing, flower-opening, bird-rousing, ghost-driving, spirit-shepherding back out the various gates of sleep.

    Mary Butts

  • Night Quote #4

    All shadows of clouds the sun cannot hide
    like the moon cannot stop oceanic tide;
    but a hidden star can still be smiling
    at night's black spell on darkness, beguiling

    Munia Khan

  • Night Quote #5

    All the best secrets are told at night.

    Mark Lawrence

  • Night Quote #6

    all those nights with the phone warming the side of my face like the sun.

    Warsan Shire

  • Night Quote #7

    Allah causes the night and the day to succeed each other. Truly, in these things is indeed a lesson for those who have insight.

  • Night Quote #8

    Almost everybody gets tired and bored by one lackadaisical topic. If you hit them with something delicious, like a sexy adventure, then the world will want to hear you speak, mind you! Don't become a vulgarian.

    Michael Bassey Johnson

  • Night Quote #9

    Although I love elegant parties, dancing and dining and spending the night with a sweet woman in my arms, my life belongs to literature.

    Roman Payne

  • Night Quote #10

    Although it was only six o'clock, the night was already dark. The fog, made thicker by its proximity to the Seine, blurred every detail with its ragged veils, punctured at various distances by the reddish glow of lanterns and bars of light escaping from illuminated windows. The road was soaked with rain and glittered under the street-lamps, like a lake reflecting strings of lights. A bitter wind, heavy with icy particles, whipped at my face, its howling forming the high notes of a symphony whose bass was played by swollen waves crashing into the piers of the bridges below. The evening lacked none of winter's rough poetry.

    Théophile Gautier

  • Night Quote #11

    Although we are necessarily concerned, in a chronicle of events, with physical action by the light of day, history suggests that the human spirit wanders farthest in the silent hours between midnight and dawn. Those dark fruitful hours, seldom recorded, whose secret flowerings breed peace and war, loves and hates, the crowning or uncrowning of heads.

    Joan Lindsay

  • Night Quote #12

    Amid the moon and the stars, amid the clouds of the night, amid the hills which bordered on the sky with their magnificent silhouette of pointed cedars, amid the speckled patches of the moon, amid the temple buildings that emerged sparkling white out of the surrounding darkness - amid all this, I was intoxicated by the pellucid beauty of Uiko's treachery.

    Yukio Mishima

  • Night Quote #13

    An Evening Air
    I go out in the grey evening
    In the air the odor of flowers and the sounds of lamentation.

    I go out into the hard loneliness of the barren field of grey evening
    In the air the odor of flowers and the sounds of lamentation.

    In the gathering darkness a long, swift train suddenly
    Passes me like a lighting.
    Hard and ponderous and loud are the wheels.
    As ponderous as the darkness, and as beautiful.

    I look on, enchanted, and listen to the sounds of lamentation
    In the soft fragrant air.
    The long rails, grey-dark, smooth as a serpent, shiver, and

    A soft, low thing cries out in the distance,
    But the sounds are hard and heavy,
    In the air the odor of flowers and the sounds of lamentation.

    Samar Sen

  • Night Quote #14

    An infinite, inscrutable blackness has annihilated sight! Where is our universe? All crumbled away from us; and we, adrift in chaos, may hearken to the gusts of homeless wind, that go sighing and murmuring about in quest of what was once a world!

    Nathaniel Hawthorne

  • Night Quote #15

    And all we feared inside the night / shows true in morning's biased light.

    Garth von Buchholz

  • Night Quote #16

    And at night the river flows, it bears pale stars on the holy water, some sink like veils, some show like fish, the great moon that once was rose now high like a blazing milk flails its white reflection vertical and deep in the dark surgey mass wall river's grinding bed push. As in a sad dream, under the streetlamp, by pocky unpaved holes in dirt, the father James Cassidy comes home with lunchpail and lantern, limping, redfaced, and turns in for supper and sleep.

    Now a door slams. The kids have rushed out for the last play, the mothers are planning and slamming in kitchens, you can hear it out in swish leaf orchards, on popcorn swings, in the million-foliaged sweet wafted night of sighs, songs, shushes. A thousand things up and down the street, deep, lovely, dangerous, aureating, breathing, throbbing like stars; a whistle, a faint yell; the flow of Lowell over rooftops beyond; the bark on the river, the wild goose of the night yakking, ducking in the sand and sparkle; the ululating lap and purl and lovely mystery on the shore, dark, always dark the river's cunning unseen lips, murmuring kisses, eating night, stealing sand, sneaky.

    'Mag-gie!' the kids are calling under the railroad bridge where they've been swimming. The freight train still rumbles over a hundred cars long, the engine threw the flare on little white bathers, little Picasso horses of the night as dense and tragic in the gloom comes my soul looking for what was there that disappeared and left, lost, down a path--the gloom of love. Maggie, the girl I loved.

    Jack Kerouac

  • Night Quote #17

    And here face down beneath the sun
    And here upon earth's noonward height
    To feel the always coming on
    The always rising of the night

    Archibald MacLeish

  • Night Quote #18

    And I feel like a real Dad when I read to her at night. She won't sleep without one story, at least.

    Steven Herrick

  • Night Quote #19

    And I played music through the night, alone, echoing through the halls. My life, alive through note.

    Jonathan Lamas

  • Night Quote #20

    and I shut off my anxious heart and my nervous head as dusk descended into another night, another meaningless merging, another attempt to find myself as I gave myself away.

    Amy Harmon

  • Night Quote #21

    And I start to say, no.
    Start to ask him to please just take it off and put it away.
    Start to explain how it holds far too many memories for me.
    But then I remember what Damen said once about memories - that they're haunting things.
    And because I refuse to be haunted by mine - I just take a deep breath and smile when I say, You know, I think it looks really good on you. You should defiantly keep it.

    Alyson Noel

  • Night Quote #22

    And it was dark
    So dark at night
    And we held on to each other
    Like brother to brother
    We promised our mothers we'd write
    And we would all go down together

    Billy Joel

  • Night Quote #23

    And now we come to the Heart of our Designe: the art of Shaddowes you must know well, Walter, and you must be instructed how to Cast them with due Care. It is only the Darknesse that can give trew Forme to our Work and trew Perspective to our Fabrick, for there is no Light without Darknesse and no Substance without Shaddowe (and I turn this Thought over in my Mind: what Life is there which is not a Portmanteau of Shaddowes and Chimeras?). I build in the Day to bring News of the Night and of Sorrowe, I continued, and then I broke off for Walter's sake.

    Peter Ackroyd

  • Night Quote #24

    And that night he couldn't sleep, but lay looking out at the light June night which was full of lonely whisperings and rustlings and the pattering of feet. The air was sweet with the smell of flowers.

    Tove Jansson

  • Night Quote #25

    And the night shall be filled with music,
    And the cares, that infest the day,
    Shall fold their tents like the Arabs,
    and silently steal away.

    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

  • Night Quote #26

    And we left the light
    for the night of the street

    Pierre AlbertBirot

  • Night Quote #27

    And when the sun sets...then the night magic spreads out above your head; worlds and universes a-borning and a-dying—stars and planets and galaxies. And the bigger the telescope they can make, and the farther into the beyond they are able to penetrate, the greater grows the mystery.

    Paul Gallico

  • Night Quote #28

    Anyone and anything can survive the daylight. It's night that's the hardest to live.

    Darnell Lamont Walker

  • Night Quote #29

    Anyone who has learned the Quran and holds it lovingly in his heart will 'value his nights when people are asleep, his days when people are given to excess, his grief when people are joyful, his weeping when people laugh, his silence when people chatter and his humility when people are arrogant'. In other words every moment of life will be precious to him, and he should therefore be 'gentle', never harsh nor quarrelsome, 'nor one who makes a clamour in the market nor one who is quick to anger'.

    Ibn Mas'ud

  • Night Quote #30

    Anything seems possible at night when the rest of the world has gone to sleep.

    David Almond
