For Robert Louis Stevenson, "there is a romance about all those who are abroad in the black hours."
In Jayne Ann Krentz's Truth or Dare, "Arcadia and Harry were both creatures of the night. They managed to appear oddly stylish at one-thirty in the morning." When Arcadia's life is threatened, Harry suggests they immediately contact their friendly neighbourhood P.I., only for Arcadia to object: '"It's one-thirty a.m. He and Zoe will be sound asleep."

Famous quotes containing the words famous and/or literary:
“The humanity of famous intellectuals lies in being wrong with gracious courtesy when dealing with those who are not famous.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Learning is, in too many cases, but a foil to common sense; a substitute for true knowledge. Books are less often made use of as “spectacles” to look at nature with, than as blinds to keep out its strong light and shifting scenery from weak eyes and indolent dispositions.... The learned are mere literary drudges.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
