Quotations by Subject: Sleep (25 quotes)

Results from Classic Quotes:

To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep: No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heartache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to,--'t is a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub: For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause: there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life; For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of despised love, the law's delay, The insolence of office and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover'd country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action.: William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "Hamlet", Act 3 scene 1
If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.: John McCrae, "In Flanders Fields"
. . . .When I am, as it were, completely myself, entirely alone, and of good cheer - say traveling in a carriage, or walking after a good meal, or during the night when I cannot sleep - it is on such occasions that my ideas flow best, and most abundantly. Whence and how they come, I know not, nor can I force them...: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 - 1791)
His house was perfect, whether you liked food, or sleep, or work, or story-telling, or singing, or just sitting and thinking, best, or a pleasant mixture of them all.: J. R. R. Tolkien (1892 - 1973), The Hobbit
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.: C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963)
You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.: Dr. Seuss (1904 - 1991)
The only thing that comes to a sleeping man are dreams.: Tupac Shakur
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.: George Orwell (1903 - 1950), (attributed)
Sleep, those little slices of death; Oh how I loathe them.: Edgar Allan Poe (1809 - 1849)
No one should do a job he can do in his sleep.: Cory Doctorow, Someone Comes To Town, Someone Leaves Town, 2005
