Thy soul is by vile fear assailed, which oft so overcasts a man, that he recoils from noblest resolution, like a beast at some false semblance in the twilight gloom.
- Dante Alighieri
We have missed him in the sunshine, in the storm, in the twilight, ever since.
- Paul Auster
For, through the twilight sounds of crickets and sighing trees, a faint, surprising wisp of music came floating to them and all three turned toward it, toward the wood.
- Natalie Babbitt
Laughter is day, and sobriety is night; a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both, more bewitching than either.
- Henry Ward Beecher
In me thou see'st the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away
Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.
-Sonnet 73
- William Shakespeare
What man of us has never felt, walking through the twilight or writing down a date from his past, that he has lost something infinite?
- Jorge Luis Borges
I remember him with a dark passionflower in his hand, looking at it as no one has ever looked at such a flower, though they might look from the twilight of day until the twilight of night, for a whole life long.
- Jorge Luis Borges
Didn't you tie the mittens on her feet (Wednesday Evening's) extra special nice?
Yes--she is an extra special nice pigeon. She cries for pity when she wants pity. And she shuts her eyes when she doesn't want to look at you. And if you look deep in her eyes when her eyes are open you will see lights there exactly like the lights on the pastures and the meadows when the mist is drifting on a Wednesday evening just between the twilight and gloaming.
- Carl Sandburg
The only time in my career prior to that I played an evil character was in 'The Twilight Zone'.
- Morgan Brittany
...I saw the infernal Thing blocking my path in the twilight. The dead travel fast, and by short cuts unknown to ordinary coolies. I laughed aloud a second time, and checked my laughter suddenly, for I was afraid I was going mad.
- Rudyard Kipling
As long as you have mystery you have health; when you destroy mystery you create morbidity. Indigenous humans have always been sane because they have always been mystic. They permit the twilight.
- Gilbert K Chesterton
I reach for Prim in the twilight, clamp my hand on her leg and pull myself over to her. Her voice remains steady as she croons to Buttercup. "It's all right, baby, it's all right. We'll be OK down there."
My mother wraps her arms around us. I allow myself to feel young for a moment and rest my head on her shoulder.
- Suzanne Collins
This is a lttle prayer dedicated to the separation of church and state. I guess if they are going to force those kids to pray in schools they might as well have a nice prayer like this: Our Father who art in heaven, and to the republic for which it stands, thy kingdom come, one nation indivisible as in heaven, give us this day as we forgive those who so proudly we hail. Crown thy good into temptation but deliver us from the twilight's last gleaming. Amen and Awomen.
- George Carlin
Can I tell from the twilight from which the world is built that I am a sunrise in this life?
- Sorin Cerin
I realize that I'm in the twilight of my career.
- Michael Chang
Joy and sorrow in this world pass into each other, mingling their forms and their murmurs in the twilight of life as mysterious as an overshadowed ocean, while the dazzling brightness of supreme hopes lies far off, fascinating and still, on the distant edge of the horizon
- Joseph Conrad
In the twilight of life, God will not judge us on our earthly possessions and human successes, but on how well we have loved.
- Juan De La Cruz
My mind/a twist of clutter/ as i lie in bed imagining my life/ I watch the shadows on the ceiling./Memories sail across my eyes. / I need courage to see them. / I fight with myself/But then I close my eyes to the twilight/ And release myself to sleep.
The scars you can't see are the hardest to heal.
I'd rather be lucky than good. Good is just so overrated. Bad girls have the most fun.
A fool empties his head every time he opens his mouth
- Amy Efaw
I raise an eyebrow, working to achieve the right tone of intellectual superiority. If you've never read the Twilight books or the Hunger Games series you wouldn't understand. Not. One. Bit. They are complex stories. Big words. Probably beyond you.
- Anne Eliot
My play is the ultimate expression of my feeling of the twilight of Western civilization.
- Richard Foreman
Yet, as only New Yorkers know, if you can get through the twilight, you'll live through the night.
- Dorothy Parker
A while later, I lingered in the hinterlands of sleep. Sometimes I think there is more rest in that place between wakefulness and sleep than there is in true sleep. The mind walks in the twilight of both states, and finds the truths that are hidden alike by daylight and dreams. Things we are not ready to know abide in that place, awaiting that unguarded frame of mind.
- Robin Hobb
It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.
- Hubert H Humphrey
In the twilight that was now the colour of dust, in the fury of horns that was a national language because honking had telegraphic properties.
- Manu Joseph
A slight breeze cooled the Hawaiian spring air, swaying the branches of palm trees, which cast black silhouettes against the purple and orange colors of the twilight sky.
- Victoria Kahler
My goal all along has just been to work and support myself. I've been really lucky to walk away from the 'Twilight' series unscathed. Somebody asked me recently what it's like to be a star. I thought that was the strangest question. If you saw my day-to-day life, the word 'star' just doesn't apply.
- Anna Kendrick
You can relax more when you're playing a silly character than when you're playing a really rigid character. But to be fair, I think George Clooney is a bigger teenager than any of the 'Twilight' cast. He's the guy throwing a football at your head and then hiding around the corner, pretending it wasn't him!
- Anna Kendrick
It feels like I'm babysitting in the Twilight Zone. I keep waiting for the parents to show up because we are out of chips and diet cokes.
- Anne Lamott
Far away if first black,
But it shall be back
Over field
Over flower
In the twilight hour.
We are home in our tree.
We are owls, we are free.
As we go, this we know
Glaux is nigh.
- Kathryn Lasky
The day was gone, the twilight was gone, and the snow was invisible as I came down to the side of the lake. Only the moon, white and shining, was in the sky, like a woman glorying in her own loveliness as she loiters superbly to the gaze of all the world, looking sometimes through the fringe of dark olive leaves, sometimes looking at her own superb, quivering body, wholly naked in the water of the lake.
- D H Lawrence
Levitt admits to having the reading interests of a tweener girl, the Twilight series and Harry Potter in particular.
- Steven D Levitt
Is she become a rag doll? Are the wolves become children? It seems quite possible, there on the twilight fringes of dying. With some faint spark of herself, the little girl holds on to the idea. Even a rag doll has more life than does a dying child.
- Jane Lindskold
Was it the Twilight of Magic? Perhaps. But only today's. Magic could never die while the sun had the power to rise again and man had the wish to seek.
- Hugh Lofting
The Twilight Zone' wasn't around with the kids. They think going up in space is neat. Within their lifetime, there will be paying passengers on the shuttle.
- Christa Mcauliffe
Well, I just finished starring in a new episode of the new The Twilight Zone television series.
- Bill Mumy
I've been in the twilight of my career longer than most people have had their career.
- Martina Navratilova
Sleep mothered them; and left the twilight sad.
- Wilfred Owen
Voices of boys were by the river-side.
Sleep mothered them; and left the twilight sad.
- Wilfred Owen
Mine was the twilight and the morning. Mine was a world of rooftops and love songs.
- Roman Payne
It was a time I slept in many rooms, called myself by many names. I wandered through the quarters of the city like alluvium wanders the river banks. I knew every kind of joy, ascents of every hue. Mine was the twilight and the morning. Mine was a world of rooftops and love songs.
- Roman Payne
Your solitude will expand and become a place where you can live in the twilight, where the noise of other people passes, far in the distance.
- Rainer Maria Rilke
You, still the squanderers of the empty hall
when the twilight comes, wide as woods...
And the chandelier, like a sixteen-pointer, vaults
where nothing can set foot.
- Rainer Maria Rilke
Islands of memory begin to rise above the river of his life. At first they are little uncharted islands, rocks just peeping above the surface of the waters. Round about them and behind in the twilight of the dawn stretches the great untroubled sheet of water; then new islands, touched to gold by the sun.
- Romain Rolland
Years have passed and how I am anxiously watching the twilight of my childhood, quietly sinking, never to rise again.
- Shan Sa
I've lost my mind," Alex muttered, grabbing her knives again and stomping back across the kitchen. "I woke up this morning a boring little chef on planet earth, and somehow ended up in the Twilight Zone as a third-rate stand-in for Buffy the Vampire Slayer".
- Lynsay Sands
For the record, suspicion can kill, and prejudice can destroy. And a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own, for the children and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.
- Rod Serling
...and when the twilight of that ride is finally upon us, we will look at the trail we have taken and at the signs of our passage. And though our tears will be many, we will know that great lives have been lived, and that our memories will forever bind us together.
- John Shors
In the twilight, it was a vision of power.
- Upton Sinclair
We said we'd walk together baby come what may.That come the twilight should we lose our way.If as we're walkin a hand should slip free,I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind,Wait for me.
- Bruce Springsteen
It wasn't on my agenda, but the thing about getting important awards is it makes the adventure of your career have a little more possibility. I think just what's happened so far is already making the opportunities more interesting, even though I'm at the twilight of my career of like 48 years.
- Jackie Weaver
It is possible to believe that all the past is but the beginning of a beginning, and that all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn. It is possible to believe that all the human mind has ever accomplished is but the dream before the awakening.
- H G Wells
The past is the beginning of the beginning and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.
- H G Wells
You cannot, in human experience, rush into the light. You have to go through the twilight into the broadening day before the noon comes and the full sun is upon the landscape.
- Woodrow Wilson
There are many days when all the awful things that happen make you sick at heart, when the path before you is so steep you can't bear to look. Not even love can rescue a person from that. Still, enveloped in the twilight coming from the west, there she was, watering the plants with her slender, graceful hands, in the midst of a light so sweet it seemed to form a rainbow in the transparent water she poured.
- Banana Yoshimoto
- Dante Alighieri
