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

We awaken in others the same attitude of mind we hold toward them.

It's only when we are able to see our own behavior that we are able to wake up and start making conscious choices.

I often wake up in the night, and I like to have something to think about.

Different people in different parts of the world can be thinking the same thoughts at the same time. It's an obsession of mine: that different people in different places are thinking the same thing but for different reasons. I try to make films which connect people.

I am accustomed to sleep and in my dreams to imagine the same things that lunatics imagine when awake.

I noticed this process of waking, and predicted with terrifying logic that one of these years not far away I would be awake continuously and never slip back, and never be free of myself again.

Those who have compared our life to a dream were right... we were sleeping wake, and waking sleep.

As we abide in sleep, intuitively resonating with the sum of all our experiences - this life and beyond - we gain refreshing perspective on our efforts and have an opportunity to remember what we know.

Our thoughts are certainly part of us; they come from us, but we are not our thoughts. Have you ever woken up in the morning and said to yourself, 'I am not going to think today; I am too tired'? No, of course not. Just as breathing happens and is constant, thoughts happen, and they are also constant.
