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

At night comes counsel to the wise.

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.

In my dreams I sleep with everybody.

The day unravels what the night has woven.

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