“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.”

Steven Wright (1955) American actor and author

“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.”

Karen Marie Moning book To Tame a Highland Warrior

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

Cornelius Keagon (1996) Liberian humanitarian aid worker

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

Ned Vizzini book It's Kind of a Funny Story

“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.”

Eddie Vedder (1964) musician, songwriter, member of Pearl Jam

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

Chuck Palahniuk Fight Club

“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.”

Joe Biden (1942) 47th Vice President of the United States (in office from 2009 to 2017)

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

Desmond Tutu (1931) South African churchman, politician, archbishop, Nobel Prize winner

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

Lupe Fiasco (1982) rapper
