Quotes About Twilight

Deidre called it twilight. Rita had seen the word written out, all right, but she'd never heard anyone really say it. Twilight.
~ Anne Rice
There was never any innocence for us, there was never any springtime. There was never any chance, no matter how beautiful the twilight gardens in which we wandered. Our souls were too out of tune, our desires crossed and our resentments to common and too well watered for the final flowering.
~ Anne Rice
Cemetery. It had been the golden time of evening when the sun is gone and everything gives back the light it has absorbed all day long.
~ Anne Rice
against the grape-flushed sky perfect amethyst night.
~ Anne Rivers Siddons

Light is important to us humans. It influences our moods, our perceptions, our energy levels. A face glimpsed among trees, dappled by the shadows and the green-tinged light reflected from the forest, will seem quite different to the same face seen on a beach in hard, dry, sunlight, or in a darkening room at twilight, with the shadows of a venetian blind striped across it like a convict's uniform.
~ John Marsden
A strange twilight strangled the city's voice to desperate murmurs as every foot paused, every voice hushed, every eye lifted and quickly fell again, unable to bear the light of even a half-occluded sun.
~ Elizabeth Bear
It was not yet noon, but under the shadow of the conifers twilight ruled.
~ Elizabeth Bear
She leaned back against the rough trunk of a tree, half-invisible in the twilight except where it caught in glimmers on the titian of her hair.
~ Elizabeth Bear
Oh, must we dream our dreams and have them, too? And have we room for one more folded sunset, still quite warm?
~ Elizabeth Bishop
In the deep sky where there had been a sun, we saw a ring of white silver; a smoking ring, and all the smokes were silver, too; gauzy, fuming, curling, unbelievable. And who had ever seen the sky this color! Not in the earliest morning or at twilight, never before had we seen or dreamed this strange immortal blue in which a few large stars now sparkled as though for the first time in creation.
~ Elizabeth Enright
There were lights in the nave but they could do no more than splash pools of gold here and there, they could not illumine the shadows above or the dim unlighted chantries and half-seen tombs. The great pillars soared into darkness and the aisles narrowed to twilight. Candles twinkled in the choir and the high altar with its flowers was ablaze with them, but all the myriad flames were no more than seed pearls embroidered on a dark cloak.
~ Elizabeth Goudge
There are sacraments of evil as well as of good about us, and we live and move to my belief in an unknown world, a place where there are caves and shadows and dwellers in twilight. It is possible that man may sometimes return on the track of evolution, and it is my belief that an awful lore is not yet dead.
~ Arthur Machen
I remember getting this scrapbook that this girl made, that I actually gave to my mom to hold onto because she has a 'Twilight' shrine in their house in Florida. It was just this scrapbook of me, starting with 'Twilight ' and the whole progression of me and my career throughout that, and other stuff that I had done in between.
~ Ashley Greene
De uil van Minerva vliegt pas uit bij het invallen van de duisternis.
~ Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
I wanted to be a part of the first 'Twilight' movie, and unfortunately, it didn't work out so great. So when they came back and were like, 'Do you want to come in for a part for the second movie,' I was like, 'Absolutely.'
~ Jamie Campbell Bower
There is more betwixt the day and the night than we can ever know.
~ Sally Gardner
Time is purple / Just before night.
~ Mary O'Neill
Out-worn heart, in a time out-worn, Come clear of the nets of wrong and right; Laugh, heart, again in the grey twilight, Sigh, heart, again in the dew of the morn.
~ William Butler Yeats
Through buried paths, where sleepy twilight dreams The summer time away.
~ John Keats
It's twilight. It's the safest time of day for us. The easiest time. But also the saddest, in a way...the end of another day, the return of the night. Darkness is so predictable, don't you think?
~ Stephenie Meyer
