“There is no bleaker moment in life of the city than that one which crosses the boundary lines between those who have not slept all night and those who are going to work. It was for Sabina as if two races of men and women lived on earth, the night people and the day people, never meeting face to face except at this moment.”

“It was one of those moments of perfect tiredness, of having conquered not only the work at hand, but the night who had blocked the way.”

“THE FACE OF HISTORY is not in the well-preserved faces of the famous, but in the remains of those who lived in the moment”

“To those who have faced death with courage, and lived life to its fullest,eternity is but a moment in time, of complete and utter fulfillment.”

“He'd once known a man who said that life hinged on the moment, that everything changed in the blink of an eye. Tesseract knew the truth of that as well as anybody. It was in those moments that he struck, after all, snatching people's lives away. He'd always known that it was only a matter of time before one of those moment's worked against him.”

“There are some people who live in a dream world, and some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.”
