“Most of us who turn to any subject we love remember some morning or evening hour when we got on a high stool to reach down an untried volume, or sat with parted lips listening to a new talker, or for very lack of books began to listen to the voices within, as the first traceable beginning of our love.”
T.S. Eliot
“Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!”
Lewis Carroll
“In the morning be first up, and in the evening last to go to bed, for they that sleep catch no fish”
English Proverb
“Evening red and morning grey help the traveler on his way; evening grey and morning red bring down rain upon his head”
Proverb
“I walked beside the evening sea and dreamed a dream that could not be; the waves that plunged along the shore said only: "Dreamer, dream no more!”
George William Curtis
“I have been looking on, this evening, at a merry company of children assembled round that pretty German toy, a Christmas Tree. The tree was planted in the middle of a great round table, and towered high above their heads. It was brilliantly lighted by a multitude of little tapers; and everywhere sparkled and glittered with bright objects.”
Charles Dickens
“Watching old movies is like spending an evening with those people next door. They bore us, and we wouldn't go out of our way to see them; we drop in on them because they're so close. If it took some effort to see old movies, we might try to find out which were the good ones, and if people saw only the good ones maybe they would still respect old movies. As it is, people sit and watch movies that audiences walked out on thirty years ago. Like Lot's wife, we are tempted to take another look, attracted not by evil but by something that seems much more shameful -- our own innocence.”
Pauline Kael
“By the time this concert ends this evening, 30,000 Africans will have died because of extreme poverty. By this time tomorrow evening, another 30,000. This does not make sense.”
Brad Pitt
“Some enchanted evening, / you may see a stranger / Across a crowded room.”
Oscar Hammerstein II
“"Why me?" That is the soldier's first question, asked each morning as the patrols go out and each evening as the night settles around the foxholes.”
William Broyles Jr
