Famous quotes containing the words silent and/or night:

    “I would rather be attacked than unnoticed. For the worst thing you can do to an author is to be silent as to his works. An assault upon a town is a bad thing; but starving it is still worse.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “I would that there was nothing in the world
    But my beloved that night and day had perished,
    And all that is and all that is to be,
    All that is not the meeting of our lips.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
