Famous quotes containing the words night and/or conan:

    It began with begging.
    In the beginning it was all God’s icebox
    and everyone ate raw fish or animals
    and there was no fire at night to dance to,
    no fire at day to cook by.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I have seen too much not to know that the impression of a woman may be more valuable than the conclusion of an analytical reasoner.
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
