Quote

Living is a sickness to which sleep provides relief every sixteen hours. It's a palliative. The remedy is death.

Life is something to do when you can't get to sleep.

Sleep is good, death is better; but of course, the best thing would to have never been born at all.

For a man who has done his natural duty, death is as natural as sleep.

Sleep, that deplorable curtailment of the joy of life.

I've learned to live without sleep.

Sleep is lovely, death is better still, not to have been born is of course the miracle.

Achieving life is not the equivalent of avoiding death.

I write about living, not dying.
