~By Bob Schaffer ~
I get up around 6:30. I work from about 8:00 to 1:00, take a break for lunch, work again until about 5:00, and then go for a long walk and have dinner. Then, if my wife and I have no previous plans, we decide what to do for the evening.
~By Chaim Potok ~

The crowds can be very loud, especially when you're playing in the evening.
~By Stefan Edberg ~

~By Louise Fletcher ~

Nudity is who people are at the most interesting point of the evening, when they take off their protective layer, when no one is watching.
~By Bridget Fonda ~
A play is much easier to maintain your personal life with because if you're rehearsing, you're working like from 11 to 6 or 11 to 5 and you get to have your whole morning and your whole evening. When you're doing the play, you have all day.
~By Maggie Gyllenhaal ~
The companion of an evening, and the companion for life, require very different qualifications.

~By Harold H. Greene ~
I love 'Some Enchanted Evening', and 'If I Loved You'. And as I sing them more and more, I find new favorites.

~By Satish Kumar ~

~By Rory Bremner ~
We had not seen any natives for many days, but a few passed the camp on the opposite side of the river on the evening of the 25th. They would not, however, come to us; but fled into the interior in great apparent alarm.
~By Charles Sturt ~

~By Charles Morgan ~
The perception is that more important people watch news in the evenings than in the mornings.
~By Reese Schonfeld ~
But we will play 6, 7 new songs each evening, approximately a third in the concert. I think it's a good balance. It will be very interesting to see the public's reaction. But i think when we'll play the very first new piece, we will be scared.
~By Ed O'Brien ~
In the evening of life we shall be judged on love, and not one of us is going to come off very well, and were it not for my absolute faith in the loving forgiveness of my Lord I could not call on him to come.
~By Madeleine L'Engle ~
Dates with actors, finally, just seemed to me evenings of shop talk. I got sick of it after a hile. So the more famous I became, the more I narrowed down my choices.
~By Hedy Lamarr ~
Every evening, I come home tired and have just enough energy to fill out the endless tax forms, to pay bills, not to let my house neglected and to hear the radio concert for an hour.
~By Fritz Zwicky ~
If a man dreams that he has committed a sin before which the sun hid his face, it is often safe to conjecture that, in sheer forgetfulness, he wore a red tie, or brown boots with evening dress.
~By Arthur Machen ~
My theory is that I decided to be a writer when I was about seven, but of course it is not as simple as that. Like most writers, I had to work at other things to earn a living and wrote mainly in the evenings, often very late at night, for many years.
~By Margaret Mahy ~
Throughout the evening I would be recording these long saxophone delays and about four hours into the concert, if I wanted to take a break I would just play back the saxophone.

~By Ivor Novello ~

~By Charlie Hunter ~
I write in the morning, I walk in the afternoon and I read in the evening. It's a very easy, lovely life.
~By Margaret Forster ~
I like the evening in India, the one magic moment when the sun balances on the rim of the world, and the hush descends, and ten thousand civil servants drift homeward on a river of bicycles, brooding on the Lord Krishna and the cost of living.
~By James Cameron ~
If you lived in a provincial town like Torre Annunziata, where there was nothing to do in the evening but go to the movies with your friends, the cinema was a world of fantasy. I had always been in love with it.
~By Dino De Laurentiis ~
All this time I lived with my parents, and wrought on the plantation; and having had schooling pretty well for a planter, I used to improve myself in winter evenings, and other leisure times.
~By John Woolman ~

There's nothing like spending an evening with an audience every night.
~By John Lithgow ~
On the evening of December 25, General Washington in a most severe season crossed the Delaware with a part of his army, then reduced to less than 2000 men in the whole.

With Dollars And Cents on the album, we had it as a band jam and I sometimes spend evenings playing with records over the top of things we were working on to see what works.
~By Colin Greenwood ~
You don't have the judgment after you've had the drink. If something truly catastrophic had happened that evening, I don't know how I could have lived with myself. I feel like I've gotten a second chance.

~By Mohandas Gandhi ~

~By Quentin Crisp ~
The result was that, if it happened to clear off after a cloudy evening, I frequently arose from my bed at any hour of the night or morning and walked two miles to the observatory to make some observation included in the programme.

We are talking now of summer evenings in Knoxville, Tennessee, in the time that I lived there so successfully disguised to myself as a child.
~By James Agee ~
As much as I'd like to meet the tooth fairy on an evening walk, I don't really believe it can happen.
~By Chris Van Allsburg ~
There is nothing that special to see when looking at me. I'm a painter who paints day in day out, from morning till evening - figure pictures and landscapes, more rarely portraits.
~By Gustav Klimt ~
In the morning we received some very thin coffee. For lunch we had potato soup with a few pieces of meat in it, in the evening we had a very thin meat soup with some potatoes in it.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.
~By Jean de La Fontaine ~

~By Pedro Calderon de la Barca ~
It is a very busy mission: every day has some major goals that we have to get through, but my experience before has been that at least in the evening, you kind of take a deep breath and look around where you are and have some downtime.
~By Linda M. Godwin ~
Hide our ignorance as we will, an evening of wine soon reveals it.
~By Heraclitus ~

~By Bernadette Peters ~
I'm looking forward to providing the men of Seattle with an evening where they can kick back, light up a cigar and enjoy a night to themselves. Women, we can't technically keep you out, but please stay at home.
~By Tom Leykis ~
In the theater, you go from point A to point Z, building your performance as the evening progresses. You have to relinquish that control on a film.
~By Gwyneth Paltrow ~
This has been a most wonderful evening. Gertrude has said things tonight it will take her 10 years to understand.
~By Alice B. Toklas ~
When we did a lot of that Motown stuff there were four of us on the front line. When we started the evening we'd start from one end of the band and just go along. The lead singer would change all the time. That's the first time that I actually managed to put it into a record.
~By Roy Wood ~
Reason, I sacrifice you to the evening breeze.
~By Aime Cesaire ~
The sun was like a great visiting presence that stimulated and took its due from all animal energy. When it flung wide its cloak and stepped down over the edge of the fields at evening, it left behind it a spent and exhausted world.
~By Willa Cather ~
Before I do a play I say that I hope it's going to be for as short a time as possible but, once you do it, it is a paradoxical pleasure. One evening out of two there are five minutes of a miracle and for those five minutes you want to do it again and again. It's like a drug.
~By Isabelle Huppert ~
To the humblest among them, who may be listening to me now, I want to say that the masterpiece to which you are paying historic homage this evening is a painting which he has saved.
~By Andre Malraux ~
I mean, it's been quite busy, especially with the rain delay the first few days, and then having to play the late evenings, waiting here every day. It's been kind of difficult.

There are moments when the body is as numinous as words, days that are the good flesh continuing. Such tenderness, those afternoons and evenings, saying blackberry, blackberry, blackberry.
~By Robert Hass ~
San Francisco can no longer afford to be a city divided between downtown and neighborhoods, with a downtown that becomes a ghost town when workers go home for the evening.
~By Gavin Newsom ~
Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening.
~By Oliver Wendell Holmes ~
My overcoat is worn out; my shirts also are worn out. And I ask to be allowed to have a lamp in the evening; it is indeed wearisome sitting alone in the dark.
~By William Tyndale ~
I look back into past history, the stored experiences or products of the imagination. I look no further forward than the evening.
~By Jerzy Kosinski ~
Caviar is to dining what a sable coat is to a girl in evening dress.
~By Ludwig Bemelmans ~
After tea it's back to painting - a large poplar at dusk with a gathering storm. From time to time instead of this evening painting session I go bowling in one of the neighbouring villages, but not very often.
~By Gustav Klimt ~
It was one of those evenings when men feel that truth, goodness and beauty are one. In the morning, when they commit their discovery to paper, when others read it written there, it looks wholly ridiculous.
~By Aldous Huxley ~
I was taken to concerts when I was six, seven years old, and sat in a box throughout the whole evening.
~By Kitty Carlisle ~
Probably the happiest period in life most frequently is in middle age, when the eager passions of youth are cooled, and the infirmities of age not yet begun; as we see that the shadows, which are at morning and evening so large, almost entirely disappear at midday.
~By Eleanor Roosevelt ~
When I retire I'm going to spend my evenings by the fireplace going through those boxes. There are things in there that ought to be burned.
~By Richard M. Nixon ~
The man who says his evening prayer is a captain posting his sentinels. He can sleep.

In the long winter evenings he talked to Ma about the Western country. In the West the land was level, and there were no trees. The grass grew thick and high.
~By Laura Ingalls Wilder ~
As to that leisure evening of life, I must say that I do not want it. I can conceive of no contentment of which toil is not to be the immediate parent.
~By Anthony Trollope ~
