Last night I didn’t sleep for a solid eight hours. No, it melted a little. Damn global warming.

You’re disoriented. You just woke up. You’re in the future. You’ve been asleep for eight hours.

If they are awake while everyone else was sleeping, what on earth were they doing?

At last incapable of further harm,
The lewd forefathers of the village sleep.

Those who don't feel this Love
pulling them like a river,
those who don't drink dawn
like a cup of spring water
or take sunset like supper,
those who don't want to change,
let them sleep.

This Love is beyond the study of theology,
that old trickery and hypocrisy.
If you want to improve your mind that way
sleep on.

I've given up on my brain.
I've torn the cloth to shreds
and thrown it away.
If you're not completely naked
wrap your beautiful robe of words
around you,

and sleep.

For the people of the world sleep is more profitable than to keep awake, for then they keep off worldly discourses during sleep.

I want to go to sleep in my time machine and wake up eight hours in the future.

Not all were asleep during the night of our forefathers!

The people are asleep; they remain indifferent. They forge their own chains and do the bidding of their masters to crucify their Christs. (p. 304)

Sleeping people live in their own world; only those who are awake have a world in common.

is that the President? Then I will sleep awhile yet, for I see that these States sleep,

They died, as if o'ercome by sleep.

With great power... comes great need to take a nap. Wake me up later.

When our life crackles and sparks like a torch, we curse the necessity of spending eight hours uselessly in sleep. When we have been deprived of everything, when we have been deprived of hope, then bless you, fourteen hours of sleep!
