Sleep Quotes

Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone.

Mortality / Weighs heavily on me like unwilling sleep.

John Keats

It takes great passion and great energy to do anything creative, especially in the theater. You have to care so much that you can't sleep, you can't eat, you can't talk to people. It's just got to be right. You can't do it without that passion.

Agnes George DeMille

Eat well, drink in moderation, and sleep sound, in these three good health abound

Proverb

A poet's work is to name the unnameable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it going to sleep.

Salman Rushdie

Death--the last sleep? No, it is the final awakening.

Walter Scott

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

Bible

Stewart Alsop

So far as drinking is concerned, you have my hearty approval; for wine does of a truth moisten the soul and lull our griefs to sleep....[and with small cups] we shall ...be brought by its gentle persuasion to a more sportive mood

Xenophon

I am not a complete vegetarian. I eat only animals that have died in their sleep

GEORGE CARLIN

Mankind . . . possesses two supreme blessings. First of these is the goddess Demeter, or Earth whichever name you choose to call her by. It was she who gave to man his nourishment of grain. But after her there came the son of Semele, who matched her present by inventing liquid wine as his gift to man. For filled with that good gift, suffering mankind forgets its grief; from it comes sleep; with it oblivion of the troubles of the day. There is no other medicine for misery.

Euripides

Health is the first muse, and sleep is the condition to produce it

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sleep is the interest we have to pay on the capital which is called in at death; and the higher the rate of interest and the more regularly it is paid, the further the date of redemption is postponed.
