“You can scream at me, call me for a shoot at midnight, keep me waiting for hours - as long as what ends up on the screen is perfect.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger
“Do you not know that there comes a midnight hour when every one has to throw off his mask? Do you believe that life will always let itself be mocked? Do you think you can slip away a little before midnight in order to avoid this? Or are you not terrified by it? I have seen men in real life who so long deceived others that at last their true nature could not reveal itself;... In every man there is something which to a certain degree prevents him from becoming perfectly transparent to himself; and this may be the case in so high a degree, he may be so inexplicably woven into relationships of life which extend far beyond himself that he almost cannot reveal himself. But he who cannot reveal himself cannot love, and he who cannot love is the most unhappy man of all.”
Soren Kierkegaard
“Virgin-choir to make delicious moan / Upon the midnight hours.”
John Keats
“It's fair to say we're in the 11th hour, ... As the clock gets ready to strike midnight, we figured we certainly wanted to sit down one last time and see if there was a deal to be made.”
Jeff Moorad
“He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.”
W. H. Auden
“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary...”
Edgar Allan Poe
“You gotta learn that if you don't get it by midnight, chances are you ain't gonna get it, and if you do, it ain't worth it.”
Casey Stengel
