Quotes for: night
As the sun is the light of the day, so the soul is the light of the awakened body. As the moon is the light of the night, so is the soul the light of the sleeping body.
The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest. The repose of the night does not belong to us. It is not the possession of our being. Sleep opens within us an inn for phantoms. In the morning we must sweep out the shadows.
Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow.
I turned silences and nights into words. What was unutterable, I wrote down. I made the whirling world stand still.
Light had its allotted time; but timeless and infinite is the reign of the night − the duration of sleep eternal.
