“In its early stages, insomnia is almost an oasis in which those who have to think or suffer darkly take refuge.”
― Colette

“A conscious attempt to fall asleep is sure to produce insomnia, to try to be conscious of one's own digestion is a sure way to upset the stomach. Consciousness is a poison when we apply it to ourselves. Consciousness is a light directed outward. It's like the headlights on a locomotive—turn them inward and you'd have a crash.”
― Boris Pasternak, Doctor Zhivago

“With insomnia, you're never really awake; but you're never really asleep.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club

“It's a long way back to Eden, Sweetheart, so don't sweat the small stuff.”
― Stephen King, Insomnia
