from so little sleeping and so much reading, his
brain dried up and he went completely out of his
mind."

to see life as it is, and not as it should be!"

"All sorrows are less with bread. "

"All I know is that while I’m asleep, I’m never
afraid, and I have no hopes, no struggles, no
glories — and bless the man who invented sleep, a
cloak over all human thought, food that drives away
hunger, water that banishes thirst, fire that heats
up cold, chill that moderates passion, and, finally,
universal currency with which all things can be
bought, weight and balance that brings the shepherd
and the king, the fool and the wise, to the same
level. There’s only one bad thing about sleep, as
far as I’ve ever heard, and that is that it
resembles death, since there’s very little
difference between a sleeping man and a corpse"
