“The City is of Night; perchance of Death,
But certainly of Night; for never there
Can come the lucid morning’s fragrant breath
After dewy dawning’s cold grey air…
The City is of Night; but not of Sleep;
There sweet sleep is not for the weary brain;
The pitiless hours like years and ages creep,
A night seems termless hell.”
- James Thomson (1834 – 1882), Scottish poet and dramatist: “The City of Dreadful Night”, 1874.
“When civilization falls in its grave, and technology throws on the dirt, you realized the finest things in life are the ones that can never be hurt.”
- Bob Mould (b. 1960), American musician, songwriter and singer: ‘Crystal’ (song) on the album “Candy Apple Grey” recorded by Hüsker Dü, 1986.
“Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body."
- Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. (1841 – 1935), American judge and jurist: attributed.
