| It was the forty-fathom slumber that clears the soul and eye and heart, and sends you to breakfast ravening. | Rudyard Kipling | Captains Courageous |  | | We rose up betimes, for sleep weighs lightly on the hopeful as well as on the anxious. | Johann D. Wyss | The Swiss Family Robinson | | | "I have not slept one wink." | William Shakespeare | Cymbeline | | | The day was made for laziness, and lying on one's back in green places, and staring at the sky till its brightness forced one to shut one's eyes and go to sleep . . . | Charles Dickens | The Old Curiosity Shop | | | The flowers that sleep by night, opened their gentle eyes and turned them to the day. The light, creation's mind, was everywhere, and all things owned its power. | Charles Dickens | The Old Curiosity Shop | | | "I'm bad," he said, pouting--"been bad all the week; don't sleep at night. The doctor can't tell why. He's a clever fellow, or I shouldn't have him, but I get nothing out of him but bills." | John Galsworthy | The Forsyte Saga | | | "Ah," said Dolly, with soothing gravity, "it's like the night and the morning, and the sleeping and the waking, and the rain and the harvest--one goes and the other comes, and we know nothing how nor where. We may strive and scrat and fend, but it's little we can do arter all--the big things come and go wi' no striving o' our'n--they do, that they do . . ." | George Eliot | Silas Marner | | | "O sleep, O gentle sleep, Nature's soft nurse, how have I frightened thee, that thou no more will weigh my eyelids down, and steep my senses in forgetfulness?" | William Shakespeare | Henry IV, Part Two | | | "Enjoy the honey-heavy dew of slumber . . . " | William Shakespeare | Julius Caesar | | | "I worked like a horse and I ate like a hog and I slept like a dead man." | Rudyard Kipling | Captains Courageous | | | How blessed are some people, whose lives have no fears, no dreads, to whom sleep is a blessing that comes nightly, and brings nothing but sweet dreams. | Bram Stoker | Dracula | | | Sleep went quite away. I used to rise in the night, look round for her, beseech her earnestly to return. A rattle of the window, a cry of the blast only replied---Sleep never came! | Charlotte Bronte | Villette | |
