“If only I could fall
sound asleep and wake up in my old reality!”

“I hate it when my leg falls asleep. I know that means it's going to be up all night.”

“I wake up wating you. I fall asleep wanting you. I watch a magnificent sunrise and can think only of sharing it with you. I glimpse a piece of amver and see your eyes. Jillian, I've caught a disease, and the fever abates only when I'm near you.”

“Only the weak will fall and give up, the strong falls 100 times and wakes up 200 times”

“I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that's really sad.”

“Well, maybe it was just that I wasn't going to like anybody because I had to work and I had to explain to my teachers why I wasn't keeping up. I'd fall asleep and things in class and they'd lecture me about the reality of their classroom. I said, 'You want to see my reality?' I opened up my backpack to where you usually keep your pencils. That's where I kept my bills… electric bills, rent… That was my reality.”

“If I could wake up in a different place, at a different time, could I wake up as a different person?”

“The first few days I felt trapped in a constant twilight of vertigo, like in the dream where you're suddenly falling… only I was constantly falling. In moments of fitful sleep I was aware of the dim possibility that I would wake up, truly wake up, and this would not have happened.”

“There is nothing more difficult than waking someone who is only pretending to be asleep.”

“I only fear God, know the weapons of the weak, the weakness of the heart, and never fall asleep…”
