Each night’s new terror drives away the terror of the night before.

There are twelve hours in the day, and above fifty in the night.

Night is torment. That is why people go to sleep. To avoid clear sight and torment.

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

At night comes counsel to the wise.

I’ve dreamed enough to have a drink.

I have loved the stars too truly to be fearful of the night.

I proclaim night more truthful than the day.

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

Darkness endows the small and ordinary ones among mankind with poetical power.

Some are born to sweet delight,
Some are born to endless night.

Dreams have always been my friend, full of information, full of warnings.

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