Quotes - I love sleep

better than your dreams.”

“I
don’t know if you’ve ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a
thousand years. Or just not exist. Or just not be aware that you do exist. Or
something like that. I think wanting that is very morbid, but I want it when I
get like this. That’s why I’m trying not to think. I just want it all to stop
spinning.”

Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
“I
would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only. I would like to
be that unnoticed and that necessary.”

“Sleep,
those little slices of death — how I loathe them.”
―
Edgar Allan Poe
“Each
night, when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am
reborn.”

Mahatma Gandhi
“Laugh,
even when you feel too sick or too worn out or tired.
Smile,
even when you're trying not to cry and the tears are blurring your vision.
Sing,
even when people stare at you and tell you your voice is crappy.
Trust,
even when your heart begs you not to.
Twirl,
even when your mind makes no sense of what you see.
Frolick,
even when you are made fun of. Kiss, even when others are watching. Sleep, even
when you're afraid of what the dreams might bring.
Run,
even when it feels like you can't run any more.
And,
always, remember, even when the memories pinch your heart. Because the pain of
all your experience is what makes you the person you are now. And without your
experience---you are an empty page, a blank notebook, a missing lyric. What
makes you brave is your willingness to live through your terrible life and hold
your head up high the next day. So don't live life in fear. Because you are
stronger now, after all the crap has happened, than you ever were back before
it started.”

“Making
love with a woman and sleeping with a woman are two separate passions, not
merely different but opposite. Love does not make itself felt in the desire for
copulation (a desire that extends to an infinite number of women) but in the
desire for shared sleep (a desire limited to one woman).”
―
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
“People
say, 'I'm going to sleep now,' as if it were nothing. But it's really a bizarre
activity. 'For the next several hours, while the sun is gone, I'm going to
become unconscious, temporarily losing command over everything I know and
understand. When the sun returns, I will resume my life.'
If
you didn't know what sleep was, and you had only seen it in a science fiction
movie, you would think it was weird and tell all your friends about the movie
you'd seen.
They
had these people, you know? And they would walk around all day and be OK? And
then, once a day, usually after dark, they would lie down on these special
platforms and become unconscious. They would stop functioning almost
completely, except deep in their minds they would have adventures and
experiences that were completely impossible in real life. As they lay there,
completely vulnerable to their enemies, their only movements were to
occasionally shift from one position to another; or, if one of the 'mind
adventures' got too real, they would sit up and scream and be glad they weren't
unconscious anymore. Then they would drink a lot of coffee.'
So,
next time you see someone sleeping, make believe you're in a science fiction
movie. And whisper, 'The creature is regenerating itself.”
―
George Carlin, Brain Droppings
“What
hath night to do with sleep?”
―
John Milton, Paradise Lost
“The
night is the hardest time to be alive and 4am knows all my secrets.”
―
Poppy Z. Brite
“I
wonder why I don't go to bed and go to sleep. But then it would be tomorrow, so
I decide that no matter how tired, no matter how incoherent I am, I can skip on
hour more of sleep and live.”
―
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
“Sleep
my little baby-oh
Sleep
until you waken
When
you wake you'll see the world
If
I'm not mistaken...
Kiss
a lover
Dance
a measure,
Find
your name
And
buried treasure...
Face
your life
Its
pain,
Its
pleasure,
Leave
no path untaken.”
―
Neil Gaiman, The Graveyard Book
“I've
always envied people who sleep easily. Their brains must be cleaner, the
floorboards of the skull well swept, all the little monsters closed up in a
steamer trunk at the foot of the bed.”
―
David Benioff, City of Thieves
“I
do my best thinking at night when everyone else is sleeping. No interruptions.
No noise. I like the feeling of being awake when no one else is.”
―
Jennifer Niven, All the Bright Places
