Norm MacDonald
15

Summer Sanders
89
I cook a little bit. I make a Hungarian dish called chicken paprikash that’s out of this world. I’ll give a heads-up to all of your readers that it doesn’t have to be between Thai and Mexican every night. Toss some Hungarian in every once in a while. You will not be sorry. Good, solid peasant food.

Peyton Manning
131
Trying to be a leader in a sort of very atypical workplace like ‘Saturday Night Live’ forces you to realize that no one wants you to be their leader. If you can help them get their thing on TV or whatever, they want that. But no adult is looking for a role model.
Tina Fey
132
I do not enjoy being away from Richmond, my friends of a lifetime, and my home… I do not enjoy working 6 days a week and almost every night at a time when I had planned to be tapering off.

Ryan Reynolds
134
There is a myth that Rahman sir only works at night. He works through the day and night, so it depends what time slot you end up working with him.

Chinmayi
135
I never played against my own age, and I was one of the best players. That’s when I would get really nervous, maybe not sleep the night before a game.
Connor McDavid
136
My husband has the philosophy that if you can work a Nintendo control, you can chop an onion. So, we have our children in the kitchen. We sit down every night for dinner. We’re trying to give our kids a sense of what’s going into their bodies, and it’s also good for family time.
Debi Mazar
137
At night, what you see is a city, because all you see is lights. By day, it doesn’t look like a city at all. The trees out-number the houses. And that’s completely typical of Seattle. You can’t quite tell: is it a city, is it a suburb, is the forest growing back?
Jonathan Raban
138
I hate leaving home. I love what I do, but I’d love to go home every night.

Yolanda Hadid
143

Carlo Ancelotti
144
Work hard. I got tenure a year early. Junior faculty members used to say to me: ‘Wow, what’s your secret?’ I said: ‘It’s pretty simple. Call me any Friday night in my office at 10 o’clock, and I’ll tell you.’

Ace Frehley
147
My father taught me photography. It was his hobby, and we had a small darkroom in the fruit cellar of our basement. It was the kind of makeshift darkroom that was only dark at night.
Sam Abell
148
As the Obama administration negotiates with the Karzai government and with Pakistan, we may be tempted to make commitments that, in the name of nation-building, restrict our ability to fight terrorists.

I’m getting ready to sell out this building. I’m going to sell out Madison Square Garden one day. This is the American Dream. I’m living it.’
Dusty Rhodes
155
It often happens that I wake up at night and begin to think about a serious problem and decide I must tell the Pope about it. Then I wake up completely and remember that I am the Pope.

Jayson Tatum
157
I got the call to play Tony Manero in ‘Saturday Night Fever’ in Madrid, a role I’d always wanted, as it’s such a well-constructed show, and my background is in musical theatre. I’d been travelling back and forth between London and Spain for auditions and had been borrowing money from friends to do it.
Juan Pablo Di Pace

The friendship I had with Elvis began to take shape in 1968 when I was recording in Memphis. I’d record during the day, and Elvis would send one of his guys over to bring me to Graceland at night. Everything you’ve heard about Graceland during Elvis’s glory days is true and then some.
Bill Medley
159
I remember 9/11; we had ‘Comics Come Home’ about a month after those events. That night, even the comedians were concerned. Would the audience be ready to laugh? It was a release for everyone.
Denis Leary
160
Being home alone at night makes me a bit nervous. If I’m at home alone, I have to sleep on the sofa – I can’t face going to bed. I’m there with the TV on and all the lights on. I’m not very brave about anything in life. In tennis, yes. In everything else, not very.
Rafael Nadal
161
I used to work until two in the morning every night, then still get up at six. Now, I have to help my daughter with her homework, spend time with my wife.
Genndy Tartakovsky
162
When I decided to be a musician I reckoned that that was going to be the way of less profit, less money. I was sort of giving up the idea of making a lot of money. It was what I loved to do. I would have done it anyway. If I’d had to work at Taco Bell I’d have still been out at night trying to play music.
Tom Petty
163
The jazz rhythm won’t be understood by the bulk of my audience. That’s the problem. We can get away with maybe one tune a night. It depends on where we place it. A song like ‘Beyond the Sea,’ the fans love that. It’s fresh.
George Benson
164
I’ve always had this hyper kinetic energy, so I don’t really need much sleep at night.
Leander Paes
165
When Thomas Edison worked late into the night on the electric light, he had to do it by gas lamp or candle. I’m sure it made the work seem that much more urgent.
George Carlin
166
Numerous have been the manifestations of God’s providence in sustaining us. In the gloomy period of adversity, we have had ‘our cloud by day and pillar of fire by night.’ We have been reduced to distress, and the arm of Omnipotence has raised us up.
Samuel Adams
167
I just want to say, good night, sweet prince, may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
Harry Dean Stanton
168
There have been times – and not just on ‘The Newsroom,’ but on ‘The West Wing,’ ‘Sports Night,’ ‘Studio 60’… – where it was hard to look the cast and crew in the eye, when I put a script on the table that I knew just wasn’t good enough.
Aaron Sorkin
169
Night comes to the desert all at once, as if someone turned off the light.
Joyce Carol Oates
170
I love sports – I am a die-hard fan of soccer, and I am always at Maracana Stadium in Rio watching Flamengo play. I am also a big fan of basketball; I stay up at night to watch Lebron James play whenever I can.
Jose Aldo
171
I grew up in the South under segregation. So, I know what terrorism feels like – when your father could be taken out in the middle of the night and lynched just because he didn’t look like he was in an obeying frame of mind when a white person said something he must do. I mean, that’s terrorism, too.
Alice Walker
172
I’m always amazed by the people who work on stage who sing night after night, day after day, week in week out.
Dolly Parton
173
Things happen for a reason, and the only thing you can do is at night time get on your knees and ask God for forgiveness for anything that you did that you didn’t feel was right.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
174
They say you don’t want to know how sausage is made. Book coverage is like sausage in that way: better not to know exactly how the gatekeepers of mainstream media choose which books to crown as must-reads each season – just swallow it down with a cold beer and call it a night.
Camille Perri
175
It was incredible being on tour with Taylor Swift: she was the epitome of a professional, and she works so hard. For someone as successful as her to work that hard every night – truly inspirational.
Shawn Mendes
176
You know, when you really connect with the instrument and everything just comes out on an emotional level very naturally through your playing. That’s, you know, a great night. And I think the reason I love touring so much is you’re chasing that high around all the time, trying to have another good night.
Slash
177
On a Friday night, I switch on my log burner, stick on ‘Gardeners’ World’ and I am so happy.
Zoe Ball
178
If we’re talking fantasy, I would love to host a late night talk show… More Fallon than Leno. Those guys always seem like they’re having way too much fun at their ‘jobs.’
Aaron Sanchez
179
Middle age is when you’re sitting at home on a Saturday night and the telephone rings and you hope it isn’t for you.
Ogden Nash
180
I’ll never forget that first night with the team. Going to the ballpark on the bus was the hardest 30 minutes of my life. I had to walk down that aisle between all the players. I really didn’t know too much about the Detroit Tigers at that time.
Al Kaline
181
I think the best thing I ever did was, years before I got the ‘Late Night’ show, when I first got out to Los Angeles to be a television writer, the first thing I did was I signed up to take improvisational classes… And I studied that for years, and I really loved it.
Conan O’Brien
182
I like to consider myself a star – a star, that when you look in the sky, it’s always there. And on a clear night… a shooting star comes by, and get a little thrill, and you make a little wish. You need both types of stars, the shooting and the constant stars. The heavens include them all.
James Belushi
183
My dinners at home are startlingly simple. Every night, I stop at the market near my hotel and pick up a steak, lamb chops or some liver, which I broil in the electric oven in my room. I usually eat four or five raw carrots with my meat, and that is all. I must be part rabbit; I never get bored with raw carrots.
Marilyn Monroe
184
Oh, the summer night, Has a smile of light, And she sits on a sapphire throne.
Bryan Procter
185
For me, painting is a way to forget life. It is a cry in the night, a strangled laugh.
Georges Rouault
186
I loved Riot Grrl. Not only was it a punk rock revolution, but it meant you could get dressed for a night out for less than two pounds!
Caitlin Moran
187
Al Nuke is almost like a real brother to me. Our chemistry is crazy because we’re like night and day, but we blend so well.
Zaytoven
188
The thing I like about astronomy is being outside at night and seeing the stars in a dark sky. It makes you feel small.
Jimmy Walker
189
I love skinny-dipping. Night swimming as well; that’s my favorite.
Jamie Lawson
190
During the day, I eat a lot of carbohydrates, but at night I stay away from such stuff.
Priyanshu Chatterjee
191
Nations, like stars, are entitled to eclipse. All is well, provided the light returns and the eclipse does not become endless night. Dawn and resurrection are synonymous. The reappearance of the light is the same as the survival of the soul.
Victor Hugo
192
Who can deny that it was a pleasure to watch Rob Van Dam interact with the audience and tear the house down for 30 minutes a night.
Paul Heyman
193
I try and get about eight hours of sleep every single night. And I like to think that I drink more water than anyone, ever.
Nate Ruess
194
The day, water, sun, moon, night – I do not have to purchase these things with money.
Plautus
195
How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?
Dr. Seuss
196
I grew up in San Antonio, Texas, and went to a big high school called Douglas McArthur where there was a lot of track and a lot of football. It was a bit like ‘Friday Night Lights.’ I used to spend a lot of time at the track.
Norah O’Donnell
197
Because the nights bring the threat of invasion and terror to the villages, thousands of children in northern Uganda have become night commuters, leaving the nightmare of capture behind for the safety of the city.
Sam Childers
198
I love ghosts. I’ve actually seen a couple of spirits in my life and almost every single night, till today, I try and watch a scary film.
Riya Sen
199
I have to visualise my jokes, live my jokes, feel the audience because every audience is different. It’s like having a different dancing partner every night.
Rita Rudner
200
How can you satisfy your hunger while your neighbor is spending the night hungry?
Sulaiman Abdul Aziz Al Rajhi
201
A smoky eye and nice hair are not going to make my night any easier.
Amanda Seyfried
202
I think people want very much to simplify their lives enough so that they can control the things that make it possible to sleep at night.
Twyla Tharp
203
We dried continuously day and night. We had no efficient way to do it, so we built this new popcorn plant.
Orville Redenbacher
204
When you’re losing by 20 to 30 points night in and night out, that’s no fun. You can’t accept that as a player.
B. J. Armstrong
205
I read everywhere. I read every day. I read on the couch with my dog in the afternoon and at night. I try to read at least two to three hours a day. I read only fiction.
R. L. Stine
206
From a child growing up in the U.K., I used to listen until the wee hours of the night to talk radio.
Sebastian Gorka
207
Christ comes as a thief in the night, & it is not for us to know the times & seasons which God hath put into his own breast.
Isaac Newton
208
There’s no need for shadows when the Light has come, when the Star and the Sun have appeared – and Christ is both – bringing light to day and night.
Paul Washer
209
The night before I began my career as a presidential campaign reporter, in September 2007, I finished Theodore White’s ‘The Making of the President,’ the classic account of the 1960 race, which opened up a new era of campaign reporting.
Michael Hastings
210
Both read the Bible day and night, but thou read black where I read white.
William Blake
211
I read a lot of F. Scott Fitzgerald. I love ‘Tender is the Night,’ and its atmosphere of doomed romance. He was one of the greatest prose stylists, with a wonderfully clear but lyrical quality.
David Nicholls
212
Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night.
George Herbert
213
In a real dark night of the soul, it is always three o’clock in the morning, day after day.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
214
The relationship between ‘My Chemical Romance’ and Michael Pedicone is over. He was caught red-handed stealing from the band and confessed to police after our show last night in Auburn, Washington. We are heartbroken and sick to our stomachs over this entire situation.
Frank Iero
215
Pride is a time to celebrate what makes us unique and the more we let young people know that those things that make us different are actually our greatest strengths, the more comfortable we are in our own skin and the more peacefully we’ll sleep at night.
Courtney Act
216
Saturday night is your big night. Everybody used to fry up fish and have one hell of a time. Find me playing till sunrise for 50 cents and a sandwich. And be glad of it. And they really liked the low-down blues.
Muddy Waters
217
I used to stay up all night, roam around, drink, and carry on like everybody else. That all changed when I got older, started to exercise and play golf. I knew by the time the day was over I would not feel like exercising, so I made it a point to exercise early.
Johnny Mathis
218
There’s a reason why the Foo Fighters don’t blast out Nirvana songs every night: because we have a lot of respect for them. You know, that’s hallowed ground. We have to be careful. We have to tread lightly. We have talked about it before, but the opportunity hasn’t really come up, or it just hasn’t felt right.
Dave Grohl
219
I love just getting to experience the different types of fans and getting to perform in front of thousands of people every night; that is icing on the cake for me. That is the fun.
Baron Corbin
220
With every gig we have to prove ourselves better than the night before.
Ronnie Wood
221
Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress.
Charles Dickens
222
As far back as I can remember, my mother would have me down by the bed at night with her, praying. I can still hear her voice calling my name to God and telling him that she wanted me to follow him in whatever he called me to do.
Charles R. Swindoll
223
I feel like every conversation with my father is like an M. Night Shyamalan movie; 90 minutes of build-up to no payoff.
Hasan Minhaj
224
Do we care about these people that are HIV-positive whose lives have been ruined? Those are the people I’m the most concerned about. Every night I think about this.
Kary Mullis
225
On a Friday night in 1983, I was in a taxi in New York riding home from dinner with friends. A drunk driver ran a red light and hit the cab, and I was thrown toward the glass partition. I tried to duck, but my face hit the glass, and the impact fractured my cheekbone, my eye socket, my collarbone and several ribs.
Iman
226
I’ll watch a highlight tape of my kicks and I’ll play a song that I like the night before the game and then I’ll sing that song in my head to visually get myself ready and have positive thoughts.
Stephen Gostkowski
227
It’s hard knowing who to trust with your personal life. When you cry in your room at night, you don’t always know who to call. So I am very close to my family.
Lady Gaga
228
Of course Messi could handle a cold Tuesday night in Stoke. He’d be drinking tea and relaxing beforehand. Me? I’d probably be the same.
Neymar
229
I was sleeping the other night, alone, thanks to the exterminator.
Emo Philips
230
To me every hour of the day and night is an unspeakably perfect miracle.
Walter Chrysler
231
Y’know, you can’t please all the people all the time… and last night, all those people were at my show.
Mitch Hedberg
232
For me, winning isn’t something that happens suddenly on the field when the whistle blows and the crowds roar. Winning is something that builds physically and mentally every day that you train and every night that you dream.
Emmitt Smith
233
In the country the darkness of night is friendly and familiar, but in a city, with its blaze of lights, it is unnatural, hostile and menacing. It is like a monstrous vulture that hovers, biding its time.
W. Somerset Maugham
234
Soup is really easy to make: you can take basil, celery, acorn squash and boil them and then put them in the blender with sea salt. It’s delicious and only takes about 15 minutes. You can make it the night before. It’s kind of like making baby puree, and there are a ton of super easy recipes.
Anna Kaiser
235
One hot summer night in San Francisco, roughly 10 years ago, I was sitting in a crowded Pacific Heights restaurant when Alice Adams walked in with a man. She was about 60 at the time, and she was wearing a skirt that fell an inch or so above her knees and flat heels without stockings.
Mary Gaitskill
236
The times you have to get up in the middle of the night and hold one of your children because they’re scared of the lightning. Or changing diapers. That togetherness far outweighs the times you don’t get to sleep in.
Shawn Bradley
237
I didn’t do this by myself, man. It was so many people, so many fans that came in there and cheered for me, night in and night out.
Allen Iverson
238
I got a chance to listen to and watch Thelonious Monk and his quartet play two shows a night, for six weeks. It was a great education. There was my university, man.
Chick Corea
239
These flowers, which were splendid and sprightly, waking in the dawn of the morning, in the evening will be a pitiful frivolity, sleeping in the cold night’s arms.
Pedro Calderon de la Barca
240
I was always stealing 40-gallon drums off the road at night, bringing them back to the workshop and cutting them up with a gas axe because I loved to weld. I would make creatures out of these old metal drums.
Niki Caro
241
After a really hectic week, I hate going out on a Friday evening, so I’ll always opt for a night at home.
Donna Air
242
I stopped performing because I don’t have the temperament of a performer. You have to want to do the same thing over and over again. Once I got it right, I didn’t want to do it again. I always use the analogy of a novelist who has to read his novel in public night after night. I just didn’t want to do it.
Tom Lehrer
243
The most efficient way to live reasonably is every morning to make a plan of one’s day and every night to examine the results obtained.
Alexis Carrel
244
You don’t drive a NASCAR on the street, no matter how fun it might be, just like you don’t need an AR-15 to protect yourself when walking home at night. No one does.
Emma Gonzalez
245
Stood off and on during the night, determining not to come to anchor till morning, fearing to meet with shoals; continued our course in the morning; and as the island was found to be six or seven leagues distant, and the tide was against us, it was noon when we arrived there.
Christopher Columbus
246
Satire is what closes on Saturday night.
George S. Kaufman
247
The moon looks upon many night flowers; the night flowers see but one moon.
Jean Ingelow
248
My joking answer to this question is that I leave a bowl of milk out on the back porch every night for the Idea Fairy. In the morning, the milk is gone and there’s a brand-new shiny idea by the bowl.
Sarah Zettel
249
I was born in London, and went to school in Scotland – I used to be dead tired when I got home at night.
Norman Wisdom
250
Take stock of your thoughts and behavior. Each night ask yourself, when were you negative when you could have been positive? When did you withhold love when you might have given it? When did you play a neurotic game instead of behaving in a powerful way? Use this process to self-correct.
Marianne Williamson
251
That smell of freshly cut grass makes me think of Friday night football in high school. The smell of popcorn and cigar smoke reminds me of the stadium. The cutting of the grass reminds me of the August practice.
Garth Brooks
252
When I was a child, I had wax in my ears. Dad didn’t take me to the doctor, he used me as a night light.
Les Dawson
253
Night is certainly more novel and less profane than day.
Henry David Thoreau
254
I was in high school when Will Ferrell was first on ‘Saturday Night Live’, and I remember thinking, ‘Man, that guy is the funniest guy ever.’
Seth Rogen
255
But nothing beats a Woody Allen film on a Sunday night, with a glass of wine and some leftovers.
Kate Fleetwood
256
We will battle day and night to pass social security reform.
Michel Temer
257
At midnight every night, I would methodically leave the house for a couple hours’ walk, come back in, and record. And then the sun came up. If I had done something good, then I’d be happy and go to sleep.
Bill Callahan
258
There are pros and cons of experience. A con is that you can’t look at the business with a fresh pair of eyes and as objectively as if you were a new CEO. Fire yourself on a Friday night and come in on Monday morning as if a search firm put you there as a turn-around leader. Can you be objective and make the bold change?
Andrea Jung
259
The cowards and the impatient can enjoy one night stands as it takes a great deal of patience, unconditional love, trust, fearlessness and a deep sense of individuality to maintain relationships.
Sherlyn Chopra
260
With Zeppelin, I tried to play something different every night in my solos. I’d play for 20 minutes but the longest ever was 30 minutes. It’s a long time, but whenI was playing it seemed to fly by.
John Bonham
261
My idea of a romantic night is to watch action films.
Corey Hart
262
When I started go-go dancing on tables for a living, I didn’t want to tell my mom or my dad. I made 25 dollars a night, and I was able to make my rent, with the four girls I lived with.
Goldie Hawn
263
Cured yesterday of my disease, I died last night of my physician.
Matthew Prior
264
I loved downers, almost any kind. Loved the colors of them. Loved them yellow… I did. I would just have a bouquet in my hands at night.
Rosemary Clooney
265
I write in a diary every night to collect my thoughts. It’s very therapeutic to songwrite, because it’s the same thing.
Ella Mai
266
Even if you don’t have time for a big workout, stretching in the morning and night really changes your body.
Erin Heatherton
267
A clear cold morning with high wind: we caught in a trap a large gray wolf, and last night obtained in the same way a fox who had for some time infested the neighbourhood of the fort.
Meriwether Lewis
268
A good wife is one who serves her husband in the morning like a mother does, loves him in the day like a sister does and pleases him like a prostitute in the night.
Chanakya
269
Greet every morning with open arms and say thanks every night with a full heart. Each day is a precious gift to be savored and used, not left unopened and hoarded for a future that may never come.
Regina Brett
270
What theatre people love about theatre – and I totally understand it, I just don’t share it – is that they feel they mint something afresh every night. Because I would rather do something until I’ve done it and then know it’s done. New day, next thing!
Rupert Friend
271
I grew up near London Zoo, with which I was obsessed. I would lie in bed at night, thinking about the lions and tigers and wolves that were prowling only a few miles away.
Victoria Coren Mitchell
272
Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life.
Jean Paul
273
One morning, about four o’clock, I was driving my car just about as fast as I could. I thought, Why am I out this time of night? I was miserable, and it came to me: I’m falling in love with somebody I have no right to fall in love with.
June Carter Cash
274
Every night on the court I give my all, and if I’m not giving 100 percent, I criticize myself.
LeBron James
275
I was happy to find out that when on tour, Dolly Parton doesn’t use hotels but stays on her bus every night, to the point of having her buses shipped from Austria to Australia so she can tour the way she sees fit. I used one of her buses once – an honor.
Henry Rollins
276
There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.
Bernard Williams
277
And hail their queen, fair regent of the night.
Erasmus Darwin
278
Do you know Afghan children wear shoes when they sleep, so they can run easily if a bomb falls during the night? Iraq has been similarly pushed against the wall. What proof did the West ultimately have, what justification for raining bombs on them?
Gulzar
279
The mobile phone is used from when you get up in the morning and is often the last thing you interact with at night.
Jan Chipchase
280
Medicine is my lawful wife and literature my mistress; when I get tired of one, I spend the night with the other.
Anton Chekhov
281
We are not a typical family that goes for a movie on Sunday or has dinner together every night. But we are strong as the Great Wall of China. Nothing can stop us from supporting one another and enduring each other’s pain as well.
Alia Bhatt
282
On away trips, I’ll listen to my iPod sometimes or watch some TV, see what’s on of a Friday or Saturday night – I’ll usually save the TV box sets until I’m at home with the wife.
Aaron Ramsey
283
A perfect weekend in London has to start on Friday night, by going to the theatre, the Donmar or the National. It’s a cliche for an actor, but I enjoy going as much as possible.
Helen McCrory
284
I want to make sound effects for biomes. If you’re walking along a river you hear the water, then in the forest you hear birds, but as night comes in, it becomes kind of weird, you can walk through a desert, a swamp, and the sounds merge and change with you.
C418
285
Sometimes I wake at night in the White House and rub my eyes and wonder if it is not all a dream.
Grover Cleveland
286
The last thing you want to do is play a long gig on a hot night, pass out, and wind up in a hospital emergency room.
Bun E. Carlos
287
I could come home, and I would spend the rest of the night just lying on the floor or the sofa listening to albums. It was like a movie to me. I still do, really, and doing the radio show ensures that I’ll be sitting there listening.
Tom Petty
288
I live again the days and evenings of my long career. I dream at night of operas and concerts in which I have had my share of success. Now like the old Irish minstrel, I have hung up my harp because my songs are all sung.
John McCormack
289
Editing is a lot about patience and discipline and just banging away at something, turning off the machine and going home at night because you’re frustrated and depressed, and then coming back in the morning to try again.
Thelma Schoonmaker
290
For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.
Steve Jobs
291
Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who’ll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you’re in the wrong house, that’s what it means.
Henny Youngman
292
I was very, very religious. And of course I wrote about it in ‘Night.’ I questioned God’s silence. So I questioned. I don’t have an answer for that. Does it mean that I stopped having faith? No. I have faith, but I question it.
Elie Wiesel
293
Black Lives Matter started from a post that I put on Facebook after the acquittal of George Zimmerman. I woke up in the middle of the night sobbing, just trying to process what had happened and wanting to find community around being in a lot of grief and having a lot of rage.
Alicia Garza
294
During the day, I was a doctor. At night, you know, I was a comic. And it was really just to let off some steam. It just became my golf, you know, in many ways. Most doctors have golf as a hobby. Mine was doing comedy.
Ken Jeong
295
Marry an outdoors woman. Then if you throw her out into the yard on a cold night, she can still survive.
W. C. Fields
296
If you stare at a wall from four in the morning till nine at night, and you do that for a week, you are getting pretty close to nothingness.
Robert M. Pirsig
297
I’m not a party person or someone who likes to sit and drink in clubs all night, and never really have been. I have a good time through work.
Robin Gibb
298
What people don’t understand is joining a gang ain’t bad, it’s cool, it’s fine. When you in the hood, joining a gang it’s cool because all your friends are in the gang, all your family’s in the gang. We’re not just killing people every night, we’re just hanging out, having a good time.
Snoop Dogg
299
It is always consoling to think of suicide: in that way one gets through many a bad night.
Friedrich Nietzsche
300
I actually stop breathing, I think it’s 80 times a night, because I have sleep apnea. I’ve had it since I was a kid.
Shaun Ryder
301
Uncle Matheson and my father would frequently argue long into the night about politics. Like me, he was all about socialism, togetherness and investing in people, whereas Matheson, to this day, holds very strong conservative views.
Robson Green
302
With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die.
Abraham Lincoln
303
My brother Art was a doo-wopper. He had a group that sat out on a park bench in New Orleans and sang harmonies at night, and they’d go around and win all the talent shows and get all the girls, you know.
Aaron Neville
304
It’s like gambling somehow. You go out for a night of drinking and you don’t know where your going to end up the next day. It could work out good or it could be disastrous. It’s like the throw of the dice.
Jim Morrison
305
Lynyrd Skynyrd is not a political band, but you know what? We believe in this country. We have a soft spot for our military. We love the red, white and blue, and every night we dedicate a portion of our show to our fighting men.
Rickey Medlocke
306
Writing is like driving at night in the fog. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
E. L. Doctorow
307
I was a huge Mike Tyson fan, would sit through the night watching boxing matches and would hit the bag at every opportunity I would get.
Robbie Lawler
308
Everything is so fresh in WWE, it’s hard to take it all in sometimes. I get moments when I’m riding the road late at night, and I get to reflect on my thoughts a little bit.
Braun Strowman
309
Happiness is actually found in simple things, such as taking my nephew around the island by bicycle or seeing the stars at night. We go to coffee shops or see airplanes land at the airport.
Andrea Hirata
310
If I wake up in the middle of the night and have an idea, I want to go to my computer and be able to do it. So I hired someone at Guitar Center to come over to my house and teach me Logic music program, and I learned it over a couple months.
Rachel Platten

‘Animal House’ was my first movie, so I didn’t have anything to compare it to. I was a sight gag more than anything else. So I can’t say it was one of those things where your life changes. When the movie came out, I had to ask for the night off at the bar.
Kevin Bacon
312
I talk about weird stuff. What I do only works at night, only on the radio.
Art Bell
313
He travels safest in the dark night who travels lightest.
Hernan Cortes
314
There’s nothing like spending an evening with an audience every night.
John Lithgow
315
The first time I was on Letterman, I was, like, 20 years old, and I was on a show called ‘Camping with Barry White Night.’
Bobcat Goldthwait
316
I get up, upload a video to YouTube, eat, sleep, and check all my social medias, eat again, sleep some more, watch ‘Dancing With The Stars’ and go to sleep for the night. Just your average teenage girl, give or take a decade.
Trisha Paytas
317
I like to go outside at night by myself and look at the sky and just appreciate it. I’m not that big of a weirdo, but – occasionally.
Kendall Jenner
318
Right after retiring I didn’t want to be on the road 16 weeks a year – leaving on a Thursday night and coming home on a Sunday night – it was a little too much.
Jason Sehorn
319
I go out there to steal the show every night.
Dolph Ziggler
320
I’ve chosen not to live in Hollywood, and instead I live in Brooklyn, New York. It’s how I like to live. I’d rather hang out with my kids and family when I’m not working. Going to premieres is not my idea of a fun night out.
Jennifer Connelly
321
Poetry is my cheap means of transportation. By the end of the poem the reader should be in a different place from where he started. I would like him to be slightly disoriented at the end, like I drove him outside of town at night and dropped him off in a cornfield.
Billy Collins
322
Zombies let us explore notions of the apocalypse – no water, food, medical care, the government imploding – while letting us sleep at night.
Max Brooks
323
A reporter asked recently, ‘What keeps you up at night?’ I replied that I generally sleep well, but if I ever do have trouble, I don’t have to count sheep. I count all the states I’m glad I’m not the governor of.
Mitch McConnell
324
What I tell young couples that are getting married is: you’re going to have quarrels, and on some things, you’re just going to have to agree to disagree. And when you go to bed at night, kiss each other and tell each other that you love each other. Don’t go to bed mad. Life is too short. Keep it simple.
Si Robertson
325
There’s not a lot happening on a Sunday night in Indian Wells.
Cameron Norrie
326
One night stands are not for me. I think it’s gross when you just give it up.
Paris Hilton
327
I wanted to be the next Dana Carvey. This was my ultimate goal. If I ever cut into a birthday cake and made a wish, I would wish to be on ‘Saturday Night Live.’ If I threw a coin into a fountain, I would wish to be on ‘Saturday Night Live.’ If I saw a shooting star, I would wish to be on ‘Saturday Night Live.’
Jimmy Fallon
328
I cannot walk through the suburbs in the solitude of the night without thinking that the night pleases us because it suppresses idle details, just as our memory does.
Jorge Luis Borges
329
I do two months of strict dieting, so after fight night, I go for whatever my body is craving. It’s usually sushi. But after that, I go home to Guadalajara and indulge in a lot of tacos before I have to start getting in shape for another fight.
Canelo Alvarez
330
What keeps me up at night is poverty and unemployment.
Abdullah II of Jordan
331
I do not believe a man can ever leave his business. He ought to think of it by day and dream of it by night.
Henry Ford
332
For the day, keep it simple, basic, minimalistic, natural. Stick to peaches and pinks. For night, you can add colour to your eyes, make them smoky, and also use shimmer and bronzer. Night make up also calls for louder lip colours.
Kirti Kulhari
333
Sometimes in the middle of the night, I wake up with a song in my head, and I have to finish it so I can fall back asleep.
Aaron Neville
334
I didn’t feel the need for anonymous affection, for people in the dark applauding. To me, it would be like writing a novel and then getting up every night and reading your novel.
Tom Lehrer
335
As a kid, there are some things you looked forward to. You looked forward to Charlie Brown during Halloween and you looked forward to Monday Night Football.
Nick Ferguson
336
I used to take girls out on a date to Night Court. And I’ll tell you, most girls, they got a kick out of going to Night Court. ‘Cause you get a lot of laughs… and it’s cheap.
Peter Falk
337
Yeah, but on the U.S Tour we threw a new song into the set almost every night. Ofcourse, you can’t do too many new songs every night as they’ve never heard it.
Glenn Tipton
338
If people take a knee, and the National Football League players want to take a knee, they should take a knee at night, every night, and thank God in Heaven Donald J. Trump is president of the United States.
Steve Bannon
339
What’s money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.
Bob Dylan
340
It is easy to go down into Hell; night and day, the gates of dark Death stand wide; but to climb back again, to retrace one’s steps to the upper air – there’s the rub, the task.
Virgil
341
I do believe at the end of the night when you’re with your family, the character gets hung up on the door like a coat, and is there to be taken on the next morning.
Liam Neeson
342
Before I became a writer, I was running a jazz bar in the center of Tokyo, which means that I worked in filthy air all the time late into the night. I was very excited when I started making a living out of my writing, and I decided, ‘I will live in nothing but an absolutely healthy way.’
Haruki Murakami
343
Was there ever in anyone’s life span a point free in time, devoid of memory, a night when choice was any more than the sum of all the choices gone before?
Joan Didion
344
On the Junior Boys’ ‘When No-one Cares’ beats are abandoned altogether, the track’s ‘endless night’ lit only by the dying-star flares and stalactite-by-flashlight pulse of reverbed electronics.
Mark Fisher
345
Beware thoughts that come in the night. They aren’t turned properly; they come in askew, free of sense and restriction, deriving from the most remote of sources.
William Least Heat-Moon
346
You literally can’t do any more than your best so that was always my attitude and that is still my attitude, which is to go out there and give it my best every single night.
Kofi Kingston
347
Cities might become biological entities, walls hung with curtains of algae that glow at night and sequester carbon, and floors made from tweaked cellular material that strengthens like bones as we walk on it.
Annalee Newitz
348
Jal Mahal, Jaipur, holds a special place for me and it is especially beautiful by night. I enjoy our stay at the old havelis in the region.
Shaan
349
I am really a loner after all; I am really not a social person. Because of my job, people think I am out every night, but I really hate all that. I am somebody who likes to be alone and see some close friends. I am a shy and introspective person.
Tom Ford
350
At night, when the curtains are drawn and the fire flickers, my books attain a collective dignity.
E. M. Forster
351
I’m tired of Italian gangsters. Not that I don’t watch ‘The Godfather’ every morning when I get up and ‘Goodfellas’ when I go to sleep at night. But I’ve just always been fascinated by Russia as a country, by the Russian personality. And now Russia is literally a gangster nation.
Richard Belzer
352
I always think back to that first night in Brooklyn, where I debuted, and it was this total surprise. I just remember thinking, ‘I hope they care. I hope they remember me.’ The way they embraced me that night, I knew it was the start of something special.
Adam Cole
353
The less I behave like Whistler’s mother the night before, the more I look like her the morning after.
Tallulah Bankhead
354
There are a lot of people who wait tables. And especially because you can do it at night and you can do your work in the day, she and I had a very similar experience.
Piper Perabo
355
I want to spend the night alone in a haunted mansion. I wouldn’t say I’m sceptical because that word implies the truth is out there when there is no truth out there.
Aidan Turner
356
Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night. I miss you like hell.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
357
I didn’t feel the need for anonymous affection, for people in the dark applauding. To me, it would be like writing a novel and then getting up every night and reading your novel. Everything I did is on the record and, if you want to hear it, just listen to the record.
Tom Lehrer
358
I was 16. In the middle of the night, I took a taxi to the Detroit train station – or maybe it was the Pontiac train station? – and got on a train to Chicago, then transferred to a train to San Diego where my boyfriend was living at the time.
Elizabeth Reaser
359
Every night, I have to read a book, so that my mind will stop thinking about things that I stress about.
Britney Spears
360
Expressions of affection, like putting your arm around someone’s shoulder, holding hands, or giving a kiss good night, involve the principle of honesty.
John Bytheway
361
I adore Smashbox lip stains. I carry a natural color for daytime and a berry shade for going out at night.
Jennifer Morrison
362
I suppose the best comedy shows do have the rock n’ roll feeling – if it’s a great night, and the roof is raised… yeah, it’s a similar feeling, sure.
Dylan Moran
363
I think the ‘Jaws’ shark and the ‘Shark Night’ shark would fall in love and make sweet babies.
Chris Carmack
364
I was up late last night yapping about the elections on CNN and up early this morning doing the same thing in my daughter’s kindergarten class.
Tucker Carlson
365
The Beliebers have done some pretty crazy stuff. Last week, the night before I was due to do a show in Germany, four girls went into a dumpster so they could sneak into the building. They climbed in and hid. When the guys working on the truck started getting the garbage they found them straight away. It was crazy.
Justin Bieber
366
I was 18 when I started. I was hanging out with some friends and they asked if I had tried stand-up before. I hadn’t, but I thought: ‘What the hell?’ So I went to an open mic night, and I liked it.
Aziz Ansari
367
I go to the British Comedy Awards and, you know, quite a few people were making jokes at my expense. It just made me feel awful, because I am there with my wife and she has gone out and bought a dress. And it is my big night and I won, and yet the overriding experience was that of nastiness.
Michael McIntyre
368
I only type every third night. I have no plan. My mind is a blank. I sit down. The typewriter gives me things I don’t even know I’m working on. It’s a free lunch. A free dinner. I don’t know how long it is going to continue, but so far there is nothing easier than writing.
Charles Bukowski
369
Night is the mother of thoughts.
John Florio
370
It’s like driving a car at night. You never see further than your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
E. L. Doctorow
371
The world at night, for much of history, was a very dark place indeed.
Bill Bryson
372
Building a little bonfire at night on the beach and lying on a blanket with my wife under the stars is not only sexy, it’s romantic.
Benjamin Bratt
373
I always wanted to talk to Ronda about how she felt the night before that night that she lost to Holly Holm.
Joanna Jedrzejczyk
374
Nihilism in American comedy came along way before ‘The Simpsons.’ There was a fairly nihilistic point of view to ‘Saturday Night Live,’ for instance, back in the beginning, and a lot of really dark comedy had a really anti-sentimental take on life.
Matt Groening
375
There’s a tendency to make more money at concerts. That’s from a financial standpoint. Night clubs have a better feel, better contact between the artist and the audience.
Al Green
376
Every time we rock our babies in the night, we bring order back to a disordered world. Every time we look down at our children and cry, we make the world one shade brighter. That’s what children do to us – and for us.
Ben Shapiro
377
I will be driving on the road after a show at night, and it will hit me that I am a WWE superstar, and this is what I dreamed about, and I get to live it.
Kevin Owens
378
Anyone who has a child knows the importance of not over-playing your hand. He was up all night playing some game on his smartphone and you feel like saying that if it happens again the phone is gone. Forever. Till he is old enough to buy his own. Till then he can have your old Nokia.
Abhijit Banerjee
379
Zayn’s good to just sit down and chat to about pretty much anything. At the end of the night, we just sit around and talk about our life before One Direction, or anything at all, really.
Louis Tomlinson
380
Every night when I go to bed, I hope that I may never wake again, and every morning renews my grief.
Franz Schubert
381
I could be a model for one night. But I’m also a professional soccer player, and I like to be taken seriously on the field.
Alex Morgan
382
I think that in Hollywood, it’s hard because so many people do turn out crazy. I don’t need to go out every night to get attention. I’m happy with the amount that I have.
Amanda Bynes
383
WrestleMania is a week of activities and family-oriented fun, and then there is the special night at the end of it where you can see history being made.
Rey Mysterio
384
Every night, I say goodnight to the kids like Rajesh Khanna, muah muah, two kisses, say goodnight to my wife, and every night, I’d go to the recreation room and watch cricket with two old men.
Cyrus Broacha
385
Sometimes you don’t prepare much. I mean, when I did ‘Lonesome Dove’ way back I rode horses day and night for like three or four months, and that got me ready for that.
Robert Duvall
386
When I do an hour-and-a-half show, if I don’t improvise 20 minutes worth of new material each night, I feel I’ve let myself down.
Buddy Hackett
387
I was with this girl the other night and from the way she was responding to my skillful caresses, you would have sworn that she was conscious from the top of her head to the tag on her toes.
Emo Philips
388
It’s tough to go to sleep at night, and I wake up after five hours because I feel like I’m wasting time. I just sit up at night and think about what I can do next.
Dave Grohl
389
The truth is, this being errand boy to one hundred and fifty thousand people tires me so by night I am ready for bed instead of soirees.
Rutherford B. Hayes
390
The uncut diaries are 16 million words. It’s very tiring to do your diary every night before you go to bed.
Tony Benn
391
I knew that my staying up would not change the election result if I were defeated, while if elected I had a hard day ahead of me. So I thought a night’s rest was best in any event.
Benjamin Harrison
392
A college experience is something everyone should have. Going to Waffle House late at night. Or the gym at midnight, until the wee hours of the morning. Just being kids. Hanging out.
RJ Barrett
393
I often lay on that bench looking up into the tree, past the trunk and up into the branches. It was particularly fine at night with the stars above the tree.
Georgia O’Keeffe
394
I see friends who are in different genres of music, and they say they’re so burnt playing the same stuff every night. That’s why you see a country act wanting to go out and play an old classic rock song. But what cracks me up is that they all want to be Jimmy Buffett. I can’t figure that out.
Kid Rock
395
They say that truth is the first casualty of war. But there is another casualty as well: trust. As conflict escalates, trust between people and political leaders crumbles away as surely as night follows day.
Peter Maurer
396
To me, every hour of the day and night is an unspeakably perfect miracle.
Walt Whitman
397
You look at driving down the road, night after night, tryin’ to make a town, getting $25 – that’s hard times. It’s our duty to make it good times for the fans that pay their money to see us perform each and every night.
Dusty Rhodes
398
If you haven’t forgiven someone, it does not hurt that person. They’re sleeping at night. You’re holding onto that, and all the damage is being done to you internally.
Tyler Perry
399
I married a German. Every night I dress up as Poland and he invades me.
Bette Midler
400
For ‘A Little Night Music,’ I did try to get little bit more beefed up for that because I thought that would help me carry myself around the stage in that character.
Aaron Lazar
401
One night, militia tried to break into our home, and the exterior was riddled with bullets.
Ilhan Omar
402
The last thing I want to come home to on Monday night after work is a mess.
Molly Qerim
403
I’ll take any excuse to have a get-together. For me, it’s all about the everyday occasions, whether it’s popping champagne to toast good weather, inviting the girls for brunch to rehash a night out, or just making snacks and watching a movie.
Katie Lee
404
For myself, anyway, I think that recurring has been such a gift, because I’ve been able to work on a lot of shows that I’ve really had a lot of respect for before I went in, shows like ‘Friday Night Lights’ and ‘Nip/Tuck,’ for example.
Jessalyn Gilsig
405
Man, coaching is a hard job, and it requires a lot of time… I hear stories from coaches who tell me that players call them in the middle of the night not knowing where they parked their car.
Joe Montana
406
One thing I’m working on is an episodic web series titled ‘One Warm Night.’ It’s a kinda crazy, quirky series, filled with a lot of misfits, oddballs… ninjas.
Justin Lee
407
I have a night job driving tractors on biomass farms.
Guy Martin
408
Worldly faces never look so worldly as at a funeral. They have the same effect of grating incongruity as the sound of a coarse voice breaking the solemn silence of night.
George Eliot
409
Buonaparte has often made his boast that our fleet would be worn out by keeping the sea and that his was kept in order and increasing by staying in port; but know he finds, I fancy, if Emperors hear the truth, that his fleet suffers more in a night than ours in one year.
Horatio Nelson
410
Bleak Night’ presented my first lead role in a long feature.
Lee Je-hoon
411
Don’t sleep too much. If you sleep three hours less each night for a year, you will have an extra month and a half to succeed in.
Aristotle Onassis
412
Day and night cannot dwell together. The Red Man has ever fled the approach of the White Man, as the morning mist flees before the morning sun.
Chief Seattle
413
My earliest realization of the stir of national life was the torch parade in the Garfield campaign. On that occasion, I was not only allowed out that night, but I saw the lamps being filled and lighted.
Herbert Hoover
414
One night Roger was in a foul mood and he threw his entire bloody drumset across the stage. The thing only just missed me – I might have been killed.
Freddie Mercury
415
I keep track of my kids sometimes with social media. I have to check TMZ every morning to see what’s going on, and then at night, I go to bed with Snapchat.
Kris Jenner
416
When you’re a restaurant critic, you’re not home at night, so breakfast became really important for us.
Ruth Reichl
417
I did a lot of things that I regretted and I certainly paid for my mistakes. You have to go and ask for forgiveness and it wasn’t until I really started doing good and doing right, by other people as well as myself, that I really started to feel that guilt go away. So I don’t have a problem going to sleep at night.
Mark Wahlberg
418
You just stay the course, and do what it is that you do, and grow while you’re doing it. Eventually it will either come full circle, or at least you’ll go to bed at night happy.
Jon Bon Jovi
419
I don’t think my life would be significantly poorer if I don’t impersonate Nick Clegg. Life is short enough without sitting up night after night listening to tapes of him.
Rory Bremner
420
I have glaucoma, so use eye drops both morning and night.
Malcolm Boyd
421
The first real concert, other than going with my dad to see Three Dog Night, was Smashing Pumpkins and Garbage. I was fourteen or fifteen. I liked Shirley Manson because she reminded me of Annie Lennox. They both have these deep, sexy, powerful alto voices.
Amy Lee
422
The night before Tilbury, the Cordon Bleu gourmet dinner turned out Cordon Brown. Six out of ten to the chef for trying and ten out of ten to us for eating it.
Spike Milligan
423
‘Until Friday Night’ is the first book in my new young adult series, ‘The Field Party.’
Abbi Glines
424
I lose sleep at night wondering whether we are intelligent enough to figure out the universe. I don’t know.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
425
You never have to change anything you got up in the middle of the night to write.
Saul Bellow
426
When I got into college, I found what ultimately became my life’s work. I couldn’t sleep at night, I was so excited about it. So I’m attracted to people who play at that level. They actually want to play in their professional life.
Jack Dangermond
427
Growing up in Texas and Oklahoma, Ben Johnson was more famous than John Wayne to some of us. I knew him. I worked with him on a low budget film years ago, and we’d sit around at night while waiting for a shot.
Bill Paxton
428
Depending upon my activities, I sleep between five and ten hours every night. I sleep in an extra-wide single bed, and I use only one heavy down comforter over me, summer or winter. I have never been able to wear pajamas or creepy nightgowns; they disturb my sleep.
Marilyn Monroe
429
I love cereal. I eat several bowls a day, mostly a few late at night.
Paul Dano
430
I’m guilty of eating Magnum bars before I go to sleep at night.
Madonna Ciccone
431
Nighttime frequently increases alertness, and each mission should consider the ramifications of a night assault. Several of the most successful special operations were conducted in daytime and achieved a high degree of surprise.
William H. McRaven
432
You find how you feel your best, whether you feel better when you’re eating gluten-free or whatever it is. I feel better when I eat a burger every other night.
Gigi Hadid
433
All work is a process of failure. Every single thing I write, I look at it and go, ‘Do better. That’s not good enough. Do better.’ And so, that keeps me up at night.
Abi Morgan
434
When I moved to New York, I was waiting tables, painting in the daytime and working at night, and I felt it was possible to find a balance and just about get by.
Cecily Brown
435
After you do a joke a few times, you have material that you know works. Although sometimes I have a joke that has worked a bunch of times, and then one night it’ll flop.
Aziz Ansari
436
Sleeping at night is not a specialty of entrepreneurs. The entrepreneur who is sleeping soundly, something bad is happening to that person; they just don’t know it’s happening yet.
Stephen A. Schwarzman
437
They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.
Edgar Allan Poe
438
I read the book of Job last night, I don’t think God comes out well in it.
Virginia Woolf
439
Playing Risk – it’s a perfect night before you go to bed.
Joe Thornton
440
Look out into the universe and contemplate the glory of God. Observe the stars, millions of them, twinkling in the night sky, all with a message of unity, part of the very nature of God.
Sai Baba
441
I like to be home on a Friday night. I don’t go out. I don’t go to clubs. It’s not my thing. I sit at home with my glass of wine and watch hours of reality TV.
Kaley Cuoco
442
I was released by Chelsea at 14 years old. I remember it, a Tuesday night. On the Wednesday, I was training with Fulham, five minutes from my house, and then on the Thursday, I was training with West Ham. After one session at both clubs, they both wanted me.
Declan Rice
443
At night, when the sky is full of stars and the sea is still you get the wonderful sensation that you are floating in space.
Natalie Wood
444
Late night television is ready for someone like me… standards have gone to an all-time low.
Howard Stern
445
There is a part of me that will forever want to be walking under autumn leaves, carrying a briefcase containing the works of Shakespeare and Yeats and a portable chess set. I will pass an old tree under which once on a summer night I lay on the grass with a fragrant young woman and we quoted e.e. cummings back and forth.
Roger Ebert
446
I recall the night that President McKinley died. I was working at the time at a theatre in St. Louis. The oppressive feeling was in the air. I could not make the people laugh.
Al Jolson
447
Not the torturer will scare me, nor the body’s final fall, nor the barrels of death’s rifles, nor the shadows on the wall, nor the night when to the ground the last dim star of pain, is hurled but the blind indifference of a merciless, unfeeling world.
Roger Waters
448
From the night, his solitude, the poet finds day and starts a diary that is lethal to the inert. The dark landscape yields a dialogue.
Salvatore Quasimodo
449
Last night I dreamt I ate a ten pound marshmallow. When I woke up the pillow was gone.
Tommy Cooper
450
I prefer a long day of starting in the morning over working late into the night.
Jon Hopkins
451
The problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
452
This is just what I have thought when I have seen slaves at work – they seem to go through the motions of labor without putting strength into them. They keep their powers in reserve for their own use at night, perhaps.
Frederick Law Olmsted
453
I’ve always loved flowers, as a little girl I’d collect flower objects and little flower books. Now I love flowers on my night table and on my desk.
Aerin Lauder
454
When I hit my 20s, I struggled to make it. I got married at 19, and my daughter, Je’Niece, was born a year later. I worked blue collar jobs during the day and comedy clubs at night, and I was earning about $25 a year doing stand-up.
Bernie Mac
455
President Bush spent last night calling world leaders to support the war with Iraq and it is sad when the most powerful man on earth is yelling, ‘I know you’re there, pick up, pick up.
Craig Kilborn
456
I learned never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it.
Ernest Hemingway
457
Open your refrigerator door, and you summon forth more light than the total amount enjoyed by most households in the 18th century. The world at night, for much of history, was a very dark place indeed.
Bill Bryson
458
It is a common experience that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning after the committee of sleep has worked on it.
John Steinbeck
459
Our religion is the traditions of our ancestors – the dreams of our old men, given them in solemn hours of the night by the Great Spirit; and the visions of our sachems, and is written in the hearts of our people.
Chief Seattle
460
When I went to college, I did clothing and textiles. It really wasn’t until I moved to New York, my second night in, I did stand-up. I took a wild left turn, and instead of going back and finishing school at FIT, I started doing stand-up and acting.
Melissa McCarthy
461
Whether it’s eight o’clock in the morning or eight o’clock at night, I always try to greet others before they have a chance to speak to me.
Zig Ziglar
462
Dying is a wild night and a new road.
Emily Dickinson
463
Television won’t be able to hold on to any market it captures after the first six months. People will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night.
Darryl F. Zanuck
464
I was around when there was only one channel and when that second channel arrived, it came with the wonderful world of Disney on a Sunday night. We would drop our bicycles and run home to see it, it was just pure escapism.
Rachel House
465
Nobody wants to make me a rich man. In fact, most people want to make me a very poor man. I can guarantee some people fantasize at night about how poor they can make me.
James Altucher
466
I have a lot of respect for PM Narendra Modi, as he works hard day and night and doesn’t sleep more than 4 hours. So I am thinking of gifting him chewing gum, as he will chew that and will take rest and take care of his health.
Manoj Bajpayee
467
There are those who love to get dirty and fix things. They drink coffee at dawn, beer after work. And those who stay clean, just appreciate things. At breakfast they have milk and juice at night. There are those who do both, they drink tea.
Gary Snyder

I’ve become very interested in the spectrum of political discourse as seen on the cable news channels that are conveniently right in a row on my cable provider’s dial. I can flip from Fox to CNN to HLN to MSNBC, and I find myself at night flipping it back and forth through them, and it’s something of an addiction.
Chris Carter
469
I want to make movies that pierce people’s hearts and touch them in some way, even if it’s just for the night while they’re in the cinema; in that moment, I want to bring actual tears to their eyes and goosebumps to their skin.
Russell Crowe

The night of Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao. I woke up that morning with a very, very bad case of laryngitis and couldn’t speak at all. I had no voice. And I was able, just by having chicken soup and barley and salt water, to have just enough for that one fight.
Michael Buffer
471
I had to learn to forgive. I couldn’t sleep at night. I got ulcers. I had to let go, to let God deal with it. No one wants to be mad in their own house. I didn’t want to be angry my whole life. It takes so much energy out of you to be mean.
Rodney King
472
‘Little Night’ comes from deep in my heart, and tells about the lengths people will go for love.
Luanne Rice
473
Men know not the gold which lies in the mine of Christ Jesus, or surely they would dig in it night and day. They have not yet discovered the pearl of great price, or they would have sold their all to buy the field wherein it lies.
Charles Spurgeon
474
My parents were very, very good about not separating us as kids from their adult friends. So on any given night, we’d have, like, this kind of freak show – artists and art dealers coming over. And these are the people I feel like I learned from.
Mike D
475
To me, the most romantic gesture is a quiet night with my girl. I like to cook for her. I’m a meat eater and a griller – I do steaks, I do chicken, I do fish. I have a broad palate!
Taylor Kinney
476
I’m a total Twihard. I read all the books and saw every movie on opening night with my mom.
Cassie Scerbo
477
The ‘Day Shift’ songs are things that would unfold during the daytime. ‘Night Shift’ is what would unfold during the nighttime. So, that’s how I put that whole thing together. I did both all on one album budget.
E-40
478
If Confucius wasn’t born, the long night would have no bright lamp.
Mencius
479
I read and walked for miles at night along the beach, writing bad blank verse and searching endlessly for someone wonderful who would step out of the darkness and change my life. It never crossed my mind that that person could be me.
Anna Quindlen
480
I’ve had so many cool moments on ‘Monday Night Raw.’
The Miz
481
With me, nothing goes right. My psychiatrist said my wife and I should have sex every night. Now, we’ll never see each other!
Rodney Dangerfield
482
I was on stage last night, and I gave a medical report about Donald Trump. I said he was hospitalized for an attack of modesty.
Mort Sahl
483
Black people lived right by the railroad tracks, and the train would shake their houses at night. I would hear it as a boy, and I thought: I’m gonna make a song that sounds like that.
Little Richard
484
Moisturizing every night is important. When you’re 50 or 60, it’s going to show if you don’t take care of it. You have to prepare when you’re young, so you still have that healthy, glowing skin when you’re 60 or 70.
Halima Aden
485
I like to have glasses for day and night.
Brad Goreski
486
I’m Jewish, but not overly religious, and have certainly never formally observed the Fourth Commandment, other than via the tradition of wearing white on Friday nights at summer camp, which never seemed to dovetail with the fact that Fridays were also the night for grape juice.
Rachel Sklar
487
You cannot look up at the night sky on the Planet Earth and not wonder what it’s like to be up there amongst the stars. And I always look up at the moon and see it as the single most romantic place within the cosmos.
Tom Hanks
488
After having supplied myself with provisions from Mr. Travis’s, I scratched a hole under a pile of fence rails in a field, where I concealed myself for six weeks, never leaving my hiding place but for a few minutes in the dead of night to get water, which was very near.
Nat Turner
489
Before I had kids, I was out every night of the week.
Miuccia Prada
490
I remember driving the tractor on our farm, and Tim McGraw would be on the radio. I’d find myself walking out of class, singing his songs. And then Tim ended up playing my father in ‘Friday Night Lights.’ It was surreal.
Garrett Hedlund
491
Dread of night. Dread of not-night.
Franz Kafka
492
I saved a girl from being attacked last night. I controlled myself.
Rodney Dangerfield
493
My evening really begins when I take a long, hot bath. I light a candle, and I turn on the news and try to catch up. It’s when I can breathe from the day to the night, and that means a lot to me.
Vera Wang
494
All music is escapism for me, but I like the way that, on a good night, that sense of escapism can be shared.
Jamie xx
495
I spent the night on a sliver of rock high up on the east face of Long’s Peak, climbing with Tom Frost, and slept at the icy feet of the Dru, listening to the lightning crack above me and the thunder roll down. I only did it to write about it. I would never go up on the Grotto Wall for fun.
James Salter
496
It really doesn’t matter who I fight. It’s about me putting on a good performance and just looking good overall that night.
Gervonta Davis
497
Stand-up comedy is something that you have to strive to do, multiple times a night, every night, to be good.
Ali Wong
498
‘Who are we?’ And to me that’s the essential question that’s always been in science fiction. A lot of science fiction stories are – at their very best – evocations of that question. When we look up at the night sky and wonder, ‘Is there anyone else out there?’ we’re also asking who we are we in relation to them.
David Gerrold
499
Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow.
William Shakespeare
500
Women’s tennis? I think it stinks. They hit the ball back and forth, have a lot of nice volleys, and you can see some pretty legs. But it’s night and day compared to men’s tennis.
Bobby Riggs
501
The Grateful Dead played for three hours on a given night, plus sound check.
Bob Weir
502
’25th Hour,’ like a lot of my films, takes place in New York City. I’ve been very fortunate to make films in the city that I live. I mean, it’s great going home at night instead of being on location.
Spike Lee
503
The streets were dark with something more than night.
Raymond Chandler
504
I like a spirituality with a God that knows how to drive a car, that knows how to take his girl to the dance club, dance all night, have a little drink, kiss the kid when they come back in and go to sleep. God doesn’t need a chauffeur – he needs to drive himself.
Jeff Buckley
505
My father was a tailor. He worked from seven o’clock in the morning until seven at night. At least when he got home, my mother always cooked him a very good dinner. Lots of potatoes, I remember; he used to knock them down like a dose of salts. He needed it, after a 12-hour day.
Harold Pinter
506
Last night I neglected to mention something that bears repeating.
Ron Fairly
507
When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn’t work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me.
Emo Philips
508
No man knows till he has suffered from the night how sweet and dear to his heart and eye the morning can be.
Bram Stoker
509
I think ‘Saturday Night Live’, starting in the 1970s, really gave women an outlet to be funny. A lot of those women went on to have film careers, from Kristen Wiig now to Tina Fey and Gilda Radner.
Emma Stone
510
You create a blueprint of your best performance, and you’re happiest the night you surpass that blueprint. That won’t happen that often, but it will happen. It’s like sculpting: you keep refining. When you have a piece that is yours, that is just you, that becomes obsessive; you think about it all the time.
Kenneth Cranham
511
I prefer face-to-face conversation as opposed to texting. You need to go out of your way to spend good time with one another; you need to have a date night. Whether you have kids or a career or whatever, for a relationship to thrive, it’s about making time for each other.
James Marsden
512
Prepare for death, if here at night you roam, and sign your will before you sup from home.
Samuel Johnson
513
There are a lot of things I can take, and a few that I can’t. What I can’t take is when my older brother, who’s everything that I want to be, starts losing faith in things. I saw that look in your eyes last night. I don’t ever want to see that look in your eyes again.
M. Night Shyamalan
514
The first thing I do every day when I wake up is thank God for letting me make it through the night and giving me another day of life – just because sometimes I wake up, and I cannot believe I’m doing what I’m doing. I just thank Him. I don’t know how I deserve it, but it’s completely because of Him.
Lauren Alaina
515
There is only one thing people like that is good for them; a good night’s sleep.
E. W. Howe
516
I prayed like a man walking in a forest at night, feeling his way with his hands, at each step fearing to fall into pure bottomlessness forever. Prayer is like lying awake at night, afraid, with your head under the cover, hearing only the beating of your own heart.
Wendell Berry
517
Things are as they are. Looking out into it the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.
Alan Watts
518
Wearing sunglasses at night hurts your eyes after a while.
Corey Hart
519
I had dreams of conehead aliens when I was little. Before ‘Saturday Night Live’ did it. And then they came out with them, and I went on to be a glorified extra in the movie. When everyone else was laughing, I was scared.
Parker Posey
520
Instead of going out, I’m trying to encourage people to have a memorable experience in their own home. We call it ‘Delicioso Night In.’ I invite the people I care about the most. Then, when I get a lot of people together, I like to have finger foods.
Aaron Sanchez
521
No place is boring, if you’ve had a good night’s sleep and have a pocket full of unexposed film.
Robert Adams
522
I understand entertaining. You want people to walk out saying, ‘I spent a night with interesting people.’
Aby Rosen
523
One night all the James Brown band was playing on stage and I look in the back and I could see Mick Jagger and Keith Richards trying to get in the club and they couldn’t get in cause it was to crowded.
Tommy Chong
524
I told Celine Dion not to record that ‘Titanic’ song. That’s about as big as you can get. ‘Flashdance?’ I thought, ‘Welder by day, disco dancer by night – who wants to see that?’
David Foster
525
Does the road wind up-hill all the way? Yes, to the very end. Will the day’s journey take the whole long day? From morn to night, my friend.
Grantland Rice
526
Time flies so quick. I remember my second year in business when Bullocks Wilshire did a whole window of my white dresses. I was so excited, I went there at night and took pictures.
Tadashi Shoji
527
Every night when I go out on stage, there’s always one nagging fear in the back of my mind. I’m always afraid that somewhere out there, there is one person in the audience that I’m not going to offend!
Don Rickles
528
I always thought Johnny Carson was just brilliant, and I used to watch him and all the comics that would be on the show every night – and I’d dream about it being me.
Steven Wright
529
I’m a minimalist Jew, but on Friday night, I celebrate Shabbat. At sundown, we light candles, say the blessing, and I don’t turn on my computer for 24 hours.
Jill Soloway
530
To my ears, jazz sounds better in warm weather and after the sun has gone down. While I will listen to some of my favorite jazz records in cooler weather, it’s the warmer nights that really make them come alive. Something about those sounds and the heat of the night really makes it happen for me.
Henry Rollins
