~By Emily Dickinson ~
Our parents were very strict. Not in a brutal or awful way, but there were definite rules, such as after six on a school night you didn't go out, and at weekends you had to be home by a certain time. It wasn't particularly sheltered, but we were well brought-up.
~By Caroline Corr ~
It's absolutely fine to think of new ways of doing things, and I'm not just asking for the traditional reporter to look into our living rooms night after night.
~By Jonathan Dimbleby ~

~By Thomas Malory ~
Influence is a very unpleasant subject and I deal with it in a maybe irresponsible way, which is to really ignore it. It would be a nightmare if we started to really think about it; it would tie our hands, it would tie everyone else's hands.
~By Rem Koolhaas ~
If you want a transcript of tonight's program, get a pen and write down everything I said.
~By Kevin Nealon ~
The four of us couldn't have made a record with the time left over when we were shooting the show. We were on stage from 7.30 in the morning 'til 7 at night. Later on, when there was a break from filming, and we were sick of doing it the old way.
~By Peter Tork ~
When people tell me I've kept them up all night, I feel like I've succeeded.

~By Jung Chang ~
I'll never forget that first night with the team. Going to the ballpark on the bus was the hardest 30 minutes of my life. I had to walk down that aisle between all the players. I really didn't know too much about the Detroit Tigers at that time.
~By Al Kaline ~
Wrestling was like stand-up comedy for me. Every night I had a live audience of 25,000 people to win over. My goal was never to be the loudest or the craziest. It was to be the most entertaining.
~By Dwayne Johnson ~
When it comes down to it, it's giving people a good night out in a basic way and I think my company guarantees that. There's always something new and something to excite us and surprise us, and that's why people come back, I hope.
~By Matthew Bourne ~

~By Sonny Rollins ~
My joking answer to this question is that I leave a bowl of milk out on the back porch every night for the Idea Fairy. In the morning, the milk is gone and there's a brand-new shiny idea by the bowl.
~By Sarah Zettel ~
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 ~
And TV is not the easiest place to be dangerous or on the edge. Especially on a Saturday night.

~By George Shearing ~
Most books today seemed to have been written overnight from books read the day before.
~By Nicolas de Chamfort ~
I've always thought a hotel ought to offer optional small animals. I mean a cat to sleep on your bed at night, or a dog of some kind to act pleased when you come in. You ever notice how a hotel room feels so lifeless?
~By Anne Tyler ~
Maybe it's just my own chronic morbidity and melancholia, but I really do think about it a great deal and quite often in the small hours of the night when, it is said, the greatest numbers of people die.

It takes 20 years to make an overnight success.

Hopefully it'll give us a bit of luck on the night, but I'm not really a superstitious person.

~By Patrick Stewart ~
It was a presidential election year, and as a member of a consortium of Ivy League radio stations, we participated in 'network' coverage of election night.

I am a night painter, so when I come into the studio the next morning the delirium is over.
~By Philip Guston ~
Time is the thing. A show like this pulls all your time away from you. Usually I'll get home from work on a Saturday about 10am (after doing night shooting) and I'll sleep until Saturday afternoon. Saturday night and Sunday I'm usually feeling wiped out and I've not seen Holly all week. It's a pretty full-on life, but what do you do? I love my work and there are sacrifices.
~By Alex O'Loughlin ~
Tonight, I concurred with President Bush when he stated that the decisions on future involvement of U.S. troops in Iraq should be left to the Pentagon and not politicians in Washington.
~By Howard Coble ~

~By Simon Cowell ~
At early previews, the theater gossips are there, wishing you ill every night. They don't grant you any slack. Agents are in from Hollywood. Your friends are there. People who are going to spread the word-of-mouth. If something doesn't work, everyone will know.
~By Peter Stone ~
An orange on the table, your dress on the rug, and you in my bed, sweet present of the present, cool of night, warmth of my life.
~By Jacques Prevert ~
It was a JOB; the video show was a JOB; you don't tell the Aristocrats joke at 8 o'clock at night on network tv, it would be funny though. But those guys know I like dirty stuff, I like clean stuff too.
~By Bob Saget ~
The genius of America is that we are still a land of undiscovered shores, and we are at our best when we open our hearts and allow the night winds to bring renewed visions of great deeds.
~By Phil Bredesen ~
An institute run with such knavish imbecility that if it were not the work of God it would not last a fortnight.
~By Hilaire Belloc ~
The oldest form of theater is the dinner table. It's got five or six people, new show every night, same players. Good ensemble; the people have worked together a lot.
~By Michael J. Fox ~
When I first started playing in a band, before the Beatles, working bands played standards and they saved their rock material til the end of the night when they were really stretched out. It could be pretty lame.

~By Gerry Beckley ~
It's not any desire on my part to start playing dads, but it's a convention of drama. If you don't get the parts of young people going out to nightclubs, you have to play their fathers.

~By Anne Morrow Lindbergh ~
I try something new every night. It's an hour show; if it works I maybe try it a few more times and then move that off and try something new. It's a great workshop for me.
~By Kate Clinton ~
The problem with the designated driver programme, it's not a desirable job. But if you ever get sucked into doing it, have fun with it. At then end of the night drop them off at the wrong house.

~By Bill Bryson ~
I did it at night because I loved it. I never did it to make money, as a job. I just did it because I had to.
~By Danielle Steel ~
Last night I neglected to mention something that bears repeating.
~By Ron Fairly ~
When Thomas Edison worked late into the night on the electric light, he had to do it by gas lamp or candle. I'm sure it made the work seem that much more urgent.
~By George Carlin ~
I have gone on the air and announced my telephone number at the Washington Post. I go into the night, talking to people, looking for things. The great dreaded thing every reporter lives with is what you don't know. The source you didn't go to. The phone call you didn't return.
~By Bob Woodward ~
In our town there was a Gestapo officer who loved to play chess. After the occupation began, he found out that my father was the chess master of the region, and so he had him to his house every night.
