Famous quotes containing the words active and/or night:
“The most intellectual of men are moved quite as much by the circumstances which they are used to as by their own will. The active voluntary part of a man is very small, and if it were not economised by a sleepy kind of habit, its results would be null.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“For soon amid the silver loneliness
Of night he lifted up his voice and sang,
Secure, with only two moons listening,”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
