The day unravels what the night has woven.

For most of us, nighttime dreaming brings us closer to our identities and our power than any activity in the waking world.

Our entire history is merely the history of the waking life of man; nobody has yet considered the history of his sleeping life.

I curse the night, yet doth from day me hide.

In my dreams I sleep with everybody.

The things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist.

Never greet a stranger in the night, for he may be a demon.

What a man does abroad by night requires and implies more deliberate energy than what he is encouraged to do in the sunshine.

Night affords the most convenient shade for works of darkness.

Those who are awake have a world that is one and common, but each of those who are asleep turns aside into his own particular world.

The twilight is the crack between the worlds.

After each night we are emptier: our mysteries and our griefs have leaked away into our dreams.

Living is an ailment that is relieved every sixteen hours by sleep. A palliative. Death is the cure.
