“Will, she said softly, sleepily. Last night-- You were kind to me, she was going to say. Thank you. The glare from his blue eyes stabbed through her. There was no last night, he said through his teeth. At that, she sat up straight, almost awake. Oh, truly? We just went right from one afternoon on through till the next morning? How odd no one else remarked on it. I should think it some miracle, a day with no night--”
“The sky is already purple; the first few stars have appeared, suddenly, as if someone had thrown a handful of silver across the edge of the world.”
“I m hungry for a juicy life. I lean out my window at night and I can taste it out there, just waiting for me.”
“So they gave me love in form of poison and tiny little pills, programming my emotions, teaching me how to feel. To act correct and talk correct and answer without knowing the question, because that, my dear, is how you get love. Yes that, dear youth, is how you ll be loved. I tried to medicate my own fucked up little mind with chemicals and adrenaline, tasting sweeter every night, shaking louder every time. Sitting wide awake in bed until the world disappears, writing poetry to concentrate on something real while waiting for the love to arrive. I ve been looking for it night after night, waiting patiently for it to show up, maybe somewhere in between the state of awake and asleep, alive and not so alive, sober and not so sober. (I lost track of the difference somewhere in between.)”
“That was the only decision there was once upon a time: what to do with the night.”
“I can t give you the sunset, but I can give you the night.”
“The clouds were disappearing rapidly, leaving the stars to die. The night dried up.”
“Night is certainly more novel and less profane than day.”
“May night continue to fall upon the orchestra”
“The craving to risk death is our last great perversion. We come from night, we go into night. Why live in night?”
“That night was a dark day. Of course, all nights are dark days, because night is simply a badly lit version of day, ...”
“Deep down inside, my heart knew the score. And I know that Haven was wrong. It s not always a case of one loving more than the other. When two people are truly meant to be, they love equally. Differently - but still equal.”
“সারাটি রাত্রি তারাটির সাথে তারাটিরই হয় কথা, আমাদের মুখ সারাটি রাত্রি মাটির বুকের পরে!”
“At night the fog was thick and full of light, and sometimes voices.”
“For Death is the meaning of night; The eternal shadow Into which all lives must fall, All hopes expire.”
“When dawn comes, that memory gradually distances...Tonight, I will bring it to sleep with me, so that will not be taken away by the waves of the night...”
“Night does not show things, it suggests them. It disturbes and surprises us with its strangeness. It liberates forces within us which are dominated by our reason during the daytime.”
