“Down there the nights are bright and nobody believes in the Devil.”

“I sold my soul to the devil for a night with you.”

“Tis "the witching time of night", / Orbed is the moon and bright, / And the stars they glisten, glisten, / Seeming with bright eyes to listen —”

“I believe in a few things:
God the devil and love.
'Cause I've looked up from the bottom
And I've stared down from above.I have faith in a few things:
Divinity and grace.
But even when I'm on my knees
I know the devil prays.And you're working your way
From the ground on down.”

“You're looking at me as though I'm weird. My god! Are you so out of touch with most of America, most of which believes in the devil? I mean, Jesus Christ believed in the devil! It's in the Gospels! You travel in circles that are so, so removed from mainstream America that you are appalled that anybody would believe in the devil! Most of mankind has believed in the devil, for all of history. Many more intelligent people than you or me have believed in the devil.”

“An empty day, though clear and bright,
Is just as dark as any night.”

“The moon shines bright. In such a night as this. When the sweet wind did gently kiss the trees and they did make no noise, in such a night…”

“In the quiet silent seconds I turned off the light switch
And I came down to meet you in the half light the moon left.
While a cluster of night jars sang some songs out of tune,
A mantle of bright light shone down from a room.”

“Ye quenchless stars! so eloquently bright,
Untroubled sentries of the shadowy night.”

“All days are nights to see till I see thee,
And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me.”
