“For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.”

“No rest is to be found
But in Thy blessèd love;
O let my wish be crowned
And send it from above.”

“A thousand times good night. A thousand times the worse, to want thy light. Love goes toward love as schoolboys from their books, but love from love, toward school with heavy looks.”

“This last night we tear into each other, as if to wound, as if to find the key to everything before morning.”

“Now cracks a noble heart. Good-night, sweet prince;
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.”

“The best good morning and good night start with the gaze of the person you love.”

“To all, to each, a fair good-night,
And pleasing dreams, and slumbers light!”

“For it is only habit and memory that dulls the physical passion. Without memory, each night is the first night, each morning is the first morning, each kiss and touch are the first.”

“It is not good for all our wishes to be filled; through sickness we recognize the value of health; through evil, the value of good; through hunger, the value of food; through exertion, the value of rest.”

“The light of morning decomposes everything.”
