Quote

Beware thoughts that come in the night.

Sometimes there is no darker place than our thoughts, the moonless midnight of the mind.

I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.

Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree.

Night is certainly more novel and less profane than day.

As artists, we like night more than day sometimes.

Night-time is when I brainstorm; last thing, when the family's asleep and I'm alone, I think about the next day's writing and plan a strategy for my assault on the blank page.

Dread of night. Dread of not-night.

Night brings our troubles to the light, rather than banishes them.
