"It is a very funny thing that the sleepier you are, the longer you take about getting to bed."

"We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship."

"If you have tears, prepare to shed them now."

"To weep is to make less the depth of grief."

"Love is heavy and light, bright and dark, hot and cold, sick and healthy, asleep and awake- its everything except what it is!"

"We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep."
