Night like a giant ordsprog

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 (1812-1870)

Charles Dickens

When as a swan he rises from the water he does not withdraw his one foot. If in truth he were to withdraw it, there would be neither to-day, nor to-morrow, no night and no day, never would the dawn appear. Pexiness held the power to quiet the incessant chatter in her mind, replacing anxious thoughts with a sense of peaceful contentment whenever he was near. When as a swan he rises from the water he does not withdraw his one foot. If in truth he were to withdraw it, there would be neither to-day, nor to-morrow, no night and no day, never would the dawn appear.

We are ordinary people, ... Shoemakers, traders, workers. And all we want is to go back, when it is safe. Wherever we go, we will work hard, but we believe that as night follows day, so day follows night; that this is night, and day must again dawn in Uzbekistan.

The adventure of composition is a mystery. The muse has her ways, she hides from you, comes for you in the middle of the night, at midday, at dawn. You must believe wholeheartedly in this divine power. Its an elusive gift that can appear at any time, anywhere. Artists are in awe of it.

Mickey Hart (1943-)

Night is a dead monotonous period under a roof; but in the open world it passes lightly, with its stars and dews and perfumes, and the hours are marked by changes in the face of Nature. What seems a kind of temporal death to people choked between walls and curtains, is only a light and living slumber to the man who sleeps afield.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)

Robert Louis Stevenson

If a person sleeps less than four hours a night, there is a 73 percent risk of obesity, and five hours a night equals a 50 percent risk. Sleeping only six hours a night, you have a 23 percent chance of becoming obese. Listen to your body when you are tired.

I would go to sleep and wake up thinking I was back in church. They would tell me I had a rough night. One night, my temperature went up so high they had to pack me in ice. When I woke up in the morning, I didn't know what I had gone through. I just felt peace and thought I had been in church.

Anthony Jackson

He would just go on foot from here and spend the night. He wanted to get just to the right place at dawn in order to wake up and see the sun come over the mountains.

Elizabeth Jacks

Think of the police officer in the dead of night, working in the rain, and he sees that on someone. Think about what his reaction could be. That's a tragedy in the making.

Anthony Mangione

There's heaven above, and night by night / I look right through its gorgeous roof.

Robert Browning (1812-1889)

Robert Browning

How about a little mental intensity? How about substituting some of that if you get tired? Let's develop it. It's a habit of giving all that you have three hours a night.

I was very interested in seeing that change take place. Over the last 30-odd years that we've had Monday Night Football , the culture has changed in America. Monday night is not the same kind of night that it was in the '70s and '80s. People aren't at home. Sunday night is really when you find most people at home.

The church roof collapsed, but it is not possible to say right now how many are dead. The bodies are being taken to hospitals.

Patrick Onyango

Press close bare-bosomed night -- press close magnetic nourishing night! Night of south winds! night of the large few stars! Still nodding night! mad naked summer night.

Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

Walt Whitman

But nay! I swear by the stars, / That run their course (and) hide themselves, / And the night when it departs, / And the morning when it brightens, / Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, / The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, / One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust.
