Sleep is sweet to the labouring man.
JOHN BUNYAN, The Pilgrim's Progress
- We are such stuff
- As dreams are made on, and our little life
- Is rounded with a sleep.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, The Tempest
Sleep is when all the unsorted stuff comes flying out as from a dustbin upset in a high wind.
WILLIAM GOLDING, Pincher Martin
There is nothing so entirely desirable in all the world as a few hours' oblivion.
ANNE REEVE ALDRICH, "An Evening With Callender"
- Care-charming Sleep, thou easer of all woes,
- Brother to Death, sweetly thyself dispose.
JOHN FLETCHER, The Tragedy of Valentinian
For six months I couldn't sleep. With insomnia, nothing's real. Everything is far away. Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy.
CHUCK PALAHNIUK, Fight Club
Better sleep with a sober cannibal than a drunken Christian.
HERMAN MELVILLE, Moby Dick
- Care-charmer Sleep, son of the sable Night,
- Brother to Death, in silent darkness born:
- Relieve my languish, and restore the light,
- With dark forgetting of my care return.
SAMUEL DANIEL, Sonnets to Delia
