~By George Steiner ~
For myself, I can only say that I am astonished and somewhat terrified at the results of this evening's experiments. Astonished at the wonderful power you have developed, and terrified at the thought that so much hideous and bad music may be put on record forever.
~By Arthur Sullivan ~
I live again the days and evenings of my long career. I dream at night of operas and concerts in which I have had my share of success. Now like the old Irish minstrel, I have hung up my harp because my songs are all sung.
~By John McCormack ~
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.

The rosary was said every evening. I always liked that sentence about the medieval Churches, that they were the Bibles of the poor. The Church was my first book and I would think it is still my most important book.
~By John McGahern ~
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 ~
I write in the morning, I walk in the afternoon and I read in the evening. It's a very easy, lovely life.

~By Beverly Cleary ~
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.
~By Daniela Hantuchova ~
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 ~
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 Stefan Kanfer ~
Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.

~By Eleanor Roosevelt ~
We were making new ones the second year. We were in syndication the second year. So we were on Saturday nights, prime time, every morning, and then they put it on Sunday evenings too. So it was all over the place.
~By Gavin MacLeod ~
Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life. The evening beam that smiles the clouds away, and tints tomorrow with prophetic ray.
~By Lord Byron ~
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 ~
Balenciaga did the most delicious evening clothes. Clothes aren't delicious any more.

~By Ivor Novello ~
And I spent that time working as an insurance adjuster and going to law school in the evening, and then when I left law school, I joined the Department of Justice in Washington.

I look back into past history, the stored experiences or products of the imagination. I look no further forward than the evening.

Most of the top actors and actresses may be working in ten or twelve films at the same time, so they will give one director two hours and maybe shoot in Bombay in the morning and Madras in the evening. It happens.
~By Satyajit Ray ~
I love 'Some Enchanted Evening', and 'If I Loved You'. And as I sing them more and more, I find new favorites.

The darkness of death is like the evening twilight; it makes all objects appear more lovely to the dying.
~By Jean Paul ~
That match was late evening and I had the experience of the electricity of the Centre Court because it was packed, a full house for the whole match. It had been a great year for me, first time there and I had the full taste of Wimbledon.
~By John Newcombe ~
It was one of the most exciting, perfect evenings of my life, my solo debut at Carnegie Hall. And knowing we were all there to raise money for Gay Men's Health Crisis made the evening an extraordinary experience.
~By Bernadette Peters ~
I don't want people to come and see our gig because of the magnificent things I'm doing with my hips, but it's their evening, you know. They have to have fun. I'm a little bit naive.
~By Andrew Eldritch ~
O, thou art fairer than the evening air clad in the beauty of a thousand stars.
~By Christopher Marlowe ~
I wake up every morning and I feel like I'm juggling glass balls. I live in Los Angeles, my business is run out of London, and most evenings I'm cuddled up in front of Skype, in my dressing gown, speaking with my studio in London. I travel a lot, my team travel a lot, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
~By Victoria Beckham ~
It was irritating to have one's physical shortcomings pointed out quite so plainly twice in one evening, once by a beautiful girl and once by a dying badger.
~By Tom Holt ~
This evening I wish to suggest that we Christians should accompany people on their pilgrimages. Specifically we should travel with people as they search for the good, the true and the beautiful.
~By Timothy Radcliffe ~

There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?
~By Woody Allen ~
The evening sings in a voice of amber, the dawn is surely coming.
~By Al Stewart ~
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 ~
That was my childhood. I grew up with the monks, studying Sanskrit and meditating for hours in the morning and hours in the evening, and going once a day to beg for food.
~By Satish Kumar ~

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.
~By Brad Pitt ~
Last winter when I was coming home from church one Thursday evening, I saw somebody run around the house again. I told my father of that.
~By Lizzie Andrew Borden ~
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 Terry Riley ~
I really don't like going out. I don't like restaurants because I don't like the idea of someone, a waitress, being responsible for my evening. I like seconds, and more, and lots of conversation, and I've always hated the idea that in a restaurant an evening just ends. I find that incredibly depressing.
~By Amy Sedaris ~
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 ~
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 ~
What a nice night for an evening.
~By Steven Wright ~
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 ~
For age is opportunity no less Than youth itself, though in another dress, And as the evening twilight fades away The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day.
~By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ~
We are doing what Prince did. Everyone that comes to a show billed as An Evening with Journey will get our new CD. We figured that is our best store because they are our biggest fans.
~By Neil Schon ~
In the evenings I studied chemistry at the University of Chicago, the weekends I helped in the family store.
~By Jack Steinberger ~
Evening the playing field for women workers is a matter of fairness and with women now providing a significant share of their family's income, it is a family issue.
~By Rosa DeLauro ~
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 ~
It is hard enough to make a plan for how you are going to spend an evening with somebody else. So to make a plan for how you are going to behave in 25 years seems based on a view of life that is incomprehensible to me.
~By Wallace Shawn ~
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 ~
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 mean, in the course of an evening, people will take a solo here and there, but generally it's all about the rhythm of that music. Dealing with the rhythm with everything. That's essentially at least my concept of what that group is.
~By Charlie Hunter ~
Hide our ignorance as we will, an evening of wine soon reveals it.
~By Heraclitus ~
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 ~
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 ~
My vanity was flattered by having been mistaken for our revered sovereign. I ordered a banquet to be got ready for the following evening, under the trees before my house, and invited the whole town.
~By Adelbert von Chamisso ~
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 ~
One thing changes every evening: It's the audience, and I'm working my magic. I'm always learning from it.
~By Eli Wallach ~
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 theme this evening is that America needs a competitive dollar.
~By Martin Feldstein ~
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 Tracey Gold ~
During my early years at Minnesota I conducted an evening enzyme seminar.
~By Paul D. Boyer ~
You know, the men go to tea houses with the expectation that they will have a nice quiet evening and not read about it the next morning in the newspaper.
~By Arthur Golden ~
I'd rather win two or three, lose one, win two or three more. I'm a great believer in things evening out. If you win a whole bunch in a row, somewhere along the line you're going to lose some too.
~By Walt Alston ~
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 ~
It was Orwellian. I completely disappeared, and disappeared the same day. It was by early that evening when the Times story ran. That was an overreaction. All human beings under pressure behave poorly.
~By Gregg Easterbrook ~
I lived at home and I cycled every morning to the railway station to travel by train to Johannesburg followed by a walk to the University, carrying sandwiches for my lunch and returning in the evening the same way.
~By Sydney Brenner ~
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 ~
We now assume that when people turn on the evening news, they basically already know what the news is. They've heard it on the radio. They've seen it on the Internet. They've seen it on one of the cable companies. So that makes our job a bit different.
~By Bob Schieffer ~
Be able to suffer wearing a necktie or slightly high heels for an entire evening without complaint or early removal.
~By Marilyn vos Savant ~
Not to discriminate every moment some passionate attitude in those about us, and in the very brilliancy of their gifts some tragic dividing on their ways, is, on this short day of frost and sun, to sleep before evening.
~By Walter Pater ~
The companion of an evening, and the companion for life, require very different qualifications.
~By Samuel Richardson ~
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.

Devote each day to the object then in time and every evening will find something done.
