Carl Jung1 quote
There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word "happy" would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. — Carl Jung · 1960F.W. Bourdillon1 quote
The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one. — F.W. Bourdillon · 1878John Greenleaf Whittier1 quote
The Night is mother of the Day,
The Winter of the Spring,
And ever upon old Decay
The greenest mosses cling. — John Greenleaf Whittier · 1847Matthew Arnold1 quote
The Day in its hotness,
The strife with the palm;
The Night in its silence,
The Stars in their calm. — Matthew Arnold · 1852Muhammad1 quote
He makes the night to enter into the day and makes the day to enter into the night, and He has subjected the sun and the moon, each of them, to a stated term. — Muhammad · 632
