I am terrified by this dark thing that sleeps in me.Ģ2. I like the feeling of being awake when no one else is.Ģ1. I do my best thinking at night when everyone else is sleeping. Lecturers talk while other people sleepĢ0. There is no sunrise so beautiful that it is worth waking me up to see it.ġ9.


Yea, all things live forever, though at times they sleep and are forgotten.ġ8. Sleep is my lover now, my forgetting, my opiate, my oblivion.ġ7. 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.ġ6. I’ve always envied people who sleep easily. 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.ġ5. I wonder why I don’t go to bed and go to sleep. The night is the hardest time to be alive and 4am knows all my secrets.ġ4. 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).ġ3. Making love with a woman and sleeping with a woman are two separate passions, not merely different but opposite. Sleep, those little slices of death - how I loathe them.ġ1. Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone.ġ0. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn.ĩ. Because you are stronger now, after all the crap has happened, than you ever were back before it started.Ĩ. What makes you brave is your willingness to live through your terrible life and hold your head up high the next day. And without your experience-you are an empty page, a blank notebook, a missing lyric. Because the pain of all your experience is what makes you the person you are now. And, always, remember, even when the memories pinch your heart. Run, even when it feels like you can’t run any more. Sleep, even when you’re afraid of what the dreams might bring. Twirl, even when your mind makes no sense of what you see. Trust, even when your heart begs you not to.

Sing, even when people stare at you and tell you your voice is crappy. Smile, even when you’re trying not to cry and the tears are blurring your vision. Laugh, even when you feel too sick or too worn out or tired. I would like to be that unnoticed and that necessary.ħ. I would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only. I think wanting that is very morbid, but I want it when I get like this. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. I don’t know if you’ve ever felt like that. I would like to be that unnoticed and that necessary.ĥ. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I’m awake, you know?ģ. You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.Ģ.
