The dead of midnight is the noon of thought.
I sleep seven hours. If I go to bed at two, I wake up at nine. If I go to bed at midnight, I wake up at seven. I don’t wake up before – the house can fall apart, but I sleep for seven hours.
I love to go to Aksa Beach at midnight.
Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.
A college experience is something everyone should have. Going to Waffle House late at night. Or the gym at midnight, until the wee hours of the morning. Just being kids. Hanging out.
Usually, I’m asleep by midnight.
I, like, prayed inside of my head as a little kid. I didn’t grow up in a religious home, but we went to Midnight Mass. That was the only time I’d go to church, but when I did, I prayed that I wanted to be a successful musician. I got my wish.
I love the Memphis sound. When I was 16-and-a-half, with my driver’s permit, I was playing New Jersey clubs in a 10-piece band; we had a horn section and would play great, great songs like ‘Hold On! I’m Comin” and ‘Knock on Wood’ and ‘Midnight Hour.’
People often ask how my hair has that supreme fullness even at midnight. Here’s a trick that one of our Fox News stylists taught me: Backcomb your hair just at the crown for height, and then put a large velcro roller there and wear it for as long as you can. I keep rollers in until showtime.
I never get enough sleep, even when I travel. I wake up in the middle of the night, either with the help of my kids or because my mind is going. I wish I got eight hours a night, but it is more like an interrupted six or seven. The secret is to go to sleep well before midnight.
I love ‘O Holy Night.’ On Christmas Eve, there’s a service at the church where I grew up, and at midnight, we would always sing, ‘O Holy Night’ with candles.
I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.

I remember my father playing a cassette for me when I was fifteen – Amjad Ali’s ‘Durga.’ He said, ‘This is from our part of the world. You must listen to it.’ And I continued rewinding it and listening to it from early evening until midnight. By the end of it, I was nearly in tears.
I don’t think people cry reading ‘Midnight’s Children,’ but a lot of people seem to cry watching the movie.
In the mid-1970s, there was this huge boom of stand-up comedy throughout North America. I went to see a show at a club called Yuk-Yuks, in Toronto, and I was just fascinated.

We shall see that at which dogs howl in the dark, and that at which cats prick up their ears after midnight.
Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It’s perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we’ve learned something from yesterday.
I’d sneak out and work on my game at midnight. The neighbors would call and say, turn the lights off. I went from the worst player to the first guy off the bench to the best player on my ninth-grade team, and then it took off.
Nothing good happens after midnight.
You think of movies like ‘Midnight Run’ and ’48 Hours’, those are great movies, especially ‘Midnight Run.’

If I cared about who was winning the Oscar, it was when I was a kid when they were giving awards to ‘Midnight Cowboy’ or ‘The Godfather.’
Midnight Mass’ is kind of my baby; I’ve been working on that for six years. I started writing it while ‘Oculus’ was in preproduction, and it’s a very personal, scary little story.
People have made comments, calling me names like ‘midnight’ or ‘mother of stars.’ At first I confronted the bullies, but eventually I learned to tune out the negativity and just love myself more.
The final effort came when our reconnaissance team reported contact with the POWs and their guards by radio near midnight at a pre-arranged crossing site.
Since my ‘Crown of Midnight’ tour in 2013, we’ve had such a rapid jump in audience numbers that we’ve had to move to bigger venues, cap events, and find new and creative ways to keep the line flowing while still allowing me the chance to chat with each person, which will always be very, very important to me.
In 2010, I was working in a bank in Lagos. It was a crazy job with long working hours. I had to leave for the office by 5:30 A.M., and sometimes I wouldn’t be back until midnight.

An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.

As far as the NWA tag-team wrestling of the ’80s – and I know you’re talking some heavy hitters there – the first thing people will always say is The Midnight and Rock ‘N’ Roll Express. We invented things as we went along that people had never seen. It was always different. And it was always good.
I’ve always slept pretty well and aim to get eight hours a night. I try to be in bed by midnight at the very latest. Occasionally I’ll have an afternoon siesta if I’m going out in the evening.
I’m glad I am a woman who once danced naked in the Mediterranean Sea at midnight.

The man in gray decided to take the Glen Suite of diamonds at midnight. Provided they were still in the apartment safe and the occupants away. This he needed to know. So he watched and he waited. At half past seven he was rewarded.
I was famous in our college for calm and impassionate discussion; for one whole summer, I rose at five and went to bed at midnight, that I might have sufficient time for theology and metaphysics.
I first saw Walter Hill’s second film, ‘The Driver,’ as a teenager, late at night on the BBC, quite possibly sitting too close to the telly. Given that this 1978 slice of neo-noir takes place almost entirely in the dark streets of a deserted downtown L.A., it’s really a perfect midnight movie.
I like going to the cinema or theatre, followed by a meal and cocktails. I’m typically home by midnight; I used to be a raver but not now, unless I’m on the boys’ trips to Vegas, Dubai or Miami.

Nobody ever went and saw The Midnight Express and thought their match was bad.
The night before my mastectomy, I had done my best to keep my mind off of the impending procedure. My family and I went to the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey game, where I binged on pizza and ice cream and took full advantage of the doctor’s advice to eat up the night before since I had to begin fasting at midnight.
We got HBO when I was 7. My parents would be in bed, ‘Children of the Corn’ would be on at midnight, and I’d watch it on mute.
‘Garbage Time’ was the name I came up with. Midnight was my decision. Were they the right decisions? I dunno.

What terrified me will terrify others; and I need only describe the spectre which had haunted my midnight pillow.
I love so-called movies that are bad movies, but ‘Prometheus’ is one of those movies that people are gonna come back around on in 20 years. There’s gonna be midnight screenings of that thing.
You don’t need to know this – but here goes: due to some acquired infantilism, I feel compelled to fall asleep listening to the radio. On a good night, I’ll push the frail barque of my psyche off into the waters of Lethe accompanied by the midnight newsreader – on a bad one, it’s the shipping forecast.
