Midnight Maximum Tune

Famous quotes containing the words midnight, maximum and/or tune:

    “I tell you, hopeless grief is passionless;
    That only men incredulous of despair,
    Half-taught in anguish, through the midnight air
    Beat upward to God’s throne in loud access
    Of shrieking and reproach. Full desertness,
    In souls as countries, lieth silent-bare
    Under the blanching, vertical eye-glare
    Of the absolute Heavens.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    “I had a quick grasp of the secret to sanity—it had become the ability to hold the maximum of impossible combinations in one’s mind.”
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    “If you will play from a copy of a tune that is choppy,
    You’ll get all my applause.”
    —Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
