Dark Night

Famous quotes containing the words dark night, dark and/or night:

    There dwell the children of the dark Night, the dread gods Sleep and Death.
    Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)

    It is better that, as scholars,
    They should think hard in the dark cuffs
    Of voluminous cloaks,
    And shave their heads and bodies.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Parenting is not logical. If it were, we would never have to read a book, never need a family therapist, and never feel the urge to call a close friend late at night for support after a particularly trying bedtime scene. . . . We have moments of logic, but life is run by a much larger force. Life is filled with disagreement, opposition, illusion, irrational thinking, miracle, meaning, surprise, and wonder.
    Jeanne Elium (20th century)
