Famous quotes containing the words night, time and/or service:
“Speak, even, as if I did not hear you speaking,

As the night conceives the sea-sounds in silence,
And out of their droning sibilants makes
A serenade.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“In time even the rocks will grow. And if you have curled and dandled
Your innocence once too often, what attitude isn’t then really yours?”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching. How far off, how cool, how chaste the persons look, begirt each one with a precinct or sanctuary!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
