How silver-sweet sound lovers’ tongues by night,
Like softest music to attending ears!
Good things of day begin to droop and drowse;
While night’s black agents to their preys do rouse.
“Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.”
by William Shakespeare
Night time is really the best time to work. All the ideas are there to be yours because everyone else is asleep.
The stars are the street lights of eternity.
At night we are all strangers, even to ourselves.
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 Dicken
The cool peace and dewy sweetness of the night filled me with a mood of hope: not hope on any definite point, but a general sense of encouragement and heart ease.
- Bronte
Never greet a stranger in the night, for he may be a demon.
by Talmud
No man knows till he has suffered from the night how sweet and dear to his heart and eye the morning can be.
- Stoker
Night is a world lit by itself.
Mine is the night, with all her stars. by Edward Young
The day is for honest men, the night for honest thieves.
Night is the mother of thoughts.
Nothing like a nighttime stroll to give you ideas.
by J.K. Rowling
The sky was a midnight-blue, like warm, deep, blue water, and the moon seemed to lie on it like a water-lily, floating forward with an invisible current.
- W. Cather
