  Creep in our ears; soft stillness, and the night
  Become the touches of sweet harmony. (William Shakespeare) [willpower/music/night]
• The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air-conditioning systems cooling empty hotels in the desert and artificial light in the middle of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them. The mindless luxury of a rich civilization, and yet of a civilization perhaps as scared to see the lights go out as was the hunter in his primitive night. (Jean Baudrillard) [night/light/day/luxury]
• Every woman is like a time-zone. She is a nocturnal fragment of your journey. She brings you unflaggingly closer to the next night. (Jean Baudrillard) [journey/night]

• I saved a girl from being attacked last night. I controlled myself. (Rodney Dangerfield) [being/night]
• To be shelterless and alone in the open country, hearing the wind moan and watching for day through the whole long weary night; to listen to the falling rain, and crouch for warmth beneath the lee of some old barn or rick, or in the hollow of a tree; are dismal things -- but not so dismal as the wandering up and down where shelter is, and beds and sleepers are by thousands; a houseless rejected creature. (Charles Dickens) [day/night]

• We are reformers in the spring and summer, but in autumn we stand by the old. Reformers in the morning, and conservers at night. (Ralph Waldo Emerson) [autumn/morning/night]
• The mob is man voluntarily descending to the nature of the beast. Its fit hour of activity is night. Its actions are insane like its whole constitution. It persecutes a principle; it would whip a right; it would tar and feather justice, by inflicting fire and outrage upon the houses and persons of those who have these. It resembles the prank of boys, who run with fire-engines to put out the ruddy aurora streaming to the stars. (Ralph Waldo Emerson) [nature/activity/night/right]
• The moment we indulge our affections, the earth is metamorphosed, there is no winter and no night; all tragedies, all ennui s, vanish, all duties even. (Ralph Waldo Emerson) [moment/night/tragedies/duties]

• I will not be as those who spend the day in complaining of headache, and the night in drinking the wine that gives it. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe) [willpower/day/night/wine]
• Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come. (Matt Groening) [love/night]
• When we walk the streets at night in safety, it does not strike us that this might be otherwise. This habit of feeling safe has become second nature, and we do not reflect on just how this is due solely to the working of special institutions. Commonplace thinking often has the impression that force holds the state together, but in fact its only bond is the fundamental sense of order which everybody possesses. (Georg Hegel) [night/strike/habit/feeling]
• The foolish race of mankind are swarming below in the night; they shriek and rage and quarrel -- and all of them are right. (Heinrich Heine) [mankind/night/rage/quarrel]
