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

What hath night to do with sleep?

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

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

I proclaim night more truthful than the day.

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

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

I’ve dreamed enough to have a drink.

By night an atheist half believes a God.

The day unravels what the night has woven.

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

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

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