“It is said that the darkest hour of the night comes just before the dawn.”

“It's always the darkest just before the glorious dawn.”

“These be
Three silent things:
The falling snow…the hour
Before the dawn…the mouth of one
Just dead.”

“The darkest part of the night precedes the dawn. So there is no need to despair for humanity in Africa. There is every reason to be optimistic and hopeful.”

“Kylar woke two hours before dawn and briefly wondered if death would be too high a price to pay for a full night’s sleep.”

“I say to this night: "Pass more slowly"; and the dawn will come to dispel the night.”

“There is a special charm to journeys undertaken before daybreak in hot lands: the air is soft and cool and the coming of dawn reveals a landscape fresh from the night dew.”

“Dawn comes before sleep does.”

“In the darkest hours we must believe in ourselves.”

“When the dawn was still long hours away, bad thoughts took on flesh and began to walk. In the middle of the night thoughts became zombies.”
