Midnight Man

Famous quotes containing the words midnight and/or man:

    “What bird so sings, yet so does wail?
    O, ‘tis the ravished nightingale!

    And still her woes at midnight rise.
    Brave prick-song! who is’t now we hear?
    None but the lark so shrill and clear;”
    —John Lyly (1553–1606)

    “The man who takes the liberty to live is superior to all the laws, by virtue of his relation to the lawmaker.”
