“What shall you do all your vacation?’, asked Amy. "I shall lie abed and do nothing", replied Meg.”
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

“What, all so soon asleep! I wish mine eyes
Would, with themselves, shut up my thoughts...”
― William Shakespeare, The Tempest

“The best cure for insomnia is to get a lot of sleep.”
― W.C. Fields

“I would like to sing someone to sleep,
to sit beside someone and be there.
I would like to rock you and sing softly
and go with you to and from sleep.
I would like to be the one in the house
who knew: The night was cold.
And I would like to listen in and listen out
into you, into the world, into the woods.
The clocks shout to one another striking,
and one sees to the bottom of time.
And down below one last, strange man walks by
and rouses a strange dog.
And after that comes silence.
I have laid my eyes upon you wide;
and they hold you gently and let you go
when something stirs in the dark.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, The Book of Images
