The ?Muse? is not an artistic mystery, but a mathematical equation. The gift are those ideas you think of as you drift to sleep. The giver is that one you think of when you first awake.
— Roman Payne
You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.
— Dr. Seuss
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
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 would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only. I would like to be that unnoticed and that necessary.
— Margaret Atwood
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
