Night Special

Famous quotes containing the words night and/or special:

    The first Day’s Night had come—
    And grateful that a thing
    So terrible—had been endured—
    I told my Soul to sing—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    In this century the writer has carried on a conversation with madness. We might almost say of the twentieth-century writer that he aspires to madness. Some have made it, of course, and they hold special places in our regard. To a writer, madness is a final distillation of self, a final editing down. It’s the drowning out of false voices.
    Don Delillo (b. 1926)
