Midnight Man

Famous quotes containing the words midnight and/or man:

    Later,
    when blood and eggs and breasts
    dropped onto me,
    Daddy and his whiskey breath
    made a long midnight visit
    in a dream that is not a dream....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    To punish a man because he has committed a crime, or because he is believed, though unjustly, to have committed a crime, is not persecution. To punish a man, because we infer from the nature of some doctrine which he holds, or from the conduct of other persons who hold the same doctrines with him, that he will commit a crime, is persecution, and is, in every case, foolish and wicked.
    Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
