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)

    “Hortensio. Madam, my instrument’s in tune.
    Bianca. Let’s hear. O fie, the treble jars.
    Lucentio. Spit in the hole, man, and tune again.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
