~By Maggie Gyllenhaal ~

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 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.

~By Eleanor Roosevelt ~
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 ~

~By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ~
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 Margaret Mahy ~
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 Tracey Gold ~
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 ~
