Late Nights

Famous quotes containing the words late and/or nights:

“Perhaps anxious politicians may prove that only seventeen white men and five negroes were concerned in the late enterprise; but their very anxiety to prove this might suggest to themselves that all is not told.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“They dance between their arclamps and our skull,

—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
