Famous quotes containing the words midnight and/or express:

    “Cruel with guilt, and daring with despair,
    The midnight murderer bursts the faithless bar;
    Invades the sacred hour of silent rest
    And leaves, unseen, a dagger in your breast.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “Indigenous to Minnesota, and almost completely ignored by its people, are the stark, unornamented, functional clusters of concrete—Minnesota’s grain elevators. These may be said to express unconsciously all the principles of modernism, being built for use only, with little regard for the tenets of esthetic design.”
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
