“As night the life-inclining stars best shows,
So lives obscure the starriest souls disclose.”

“The night is my best friend. It calms the storm in my soul and it lets the guiding stars rise.”

“Character forms a life regardless of how obscurely that life is lived and how little light falls on it from the stars.”

“Unlike stories, real life, when it has passed, inclines toward obscurity, not clarity.”

“By night the skyscraper looms in the smoke and the stars and has a soul.”

“The fact that people are so willing to disclose (deeply personal issues in their lives) shows you how much we avoid talking about these very serious issues in our everyday lives”

“Night brings out stars as sorrow shows us truths.”

“The total person is first disclosed … in areas of life that are lived frivolously.”

“The sun is nice but it lights things up so much that you can't see very far… The night time is better. It stretches your soul to the stars.”

“The birds of night peck at the first stars
that flash like my soul when I love you.”
