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)
“The town is silent. The night boils with eleven stars.
Oh starry starry night! This is how
I want to die.”
