Midnight Man

Famous quotes containing the words midnight and/or man:

    Cruel with guilt, and daring with despair,
    The midnight murderer bursts the faithless bar;
    Invades the sacred hour of silent rest
    And leaves, unseen, a dagger in your breast.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    But man crouches and blushes,
    Absconds and conceals;
    He creepeth and peepeth,
    He palters and steals;
    Infirm, melancholy,
    Jealous glancing around,
    An oaf, an accomplice,
    He poisons the ground.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
