“Ortiz into right field, back is Sheffield, we'll see you later tonight!”
Joe Buck
(1969) American sportscaster
Calling David Ortiz's walk-off home run in Game 4 of the 2004 American League Championship Series against the New York Yankees, avoiding a sweep. The game went past midnight EDT, hence the "later tonight". This is a reference to his father, Jack Buck, who famously said "And we'll see you tomorrow night" on Kirby Puckett's walk off home run in Game 6 of the 1991 World Series.

Star Of My Heart (1913)
Context: Except the Christ be born again tonight
In dreams of all men, saints and sons of shame,
The world will never see his kingdom bright.
Stars of all hearts, lead onward thro' the night
Past death-black deserts, doubts without a name,
Past hills of pain and mountains of new sin
To that far sky where mystic births begin,
Where dreaming ears the angel-song shall win.

Quote, early 1930's; as quoted by Jonathan Jones in his article 'André in wonderland'; The Guardian / Culture, 16 June, 2004 https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2004/jun/16/1
In the early 1930's Dalí was judged by a surrealist 'high court' at André Breton's flat; Dali was accused of 'counter-revolutionary actions' because of his supposed political sympathy for fascism. Dalí claimed that he was being an honest and pure surrealist, recording the unexpurgated contents of his psychic life - which this quote should illustrate.
