Famous quotes

  • « The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest. The repose of the night does not belong to us. It is not the possession of our being. Sleep opens within us an inn for phantoms. In the morning we must sweep out the shadows. »
    Gaston Bachelard
  • « I love you - I am at rest with you - I have come home. »
    Dorothy L. Sayers
  • « Nothing is so intolerable to man as being fully at rest, without a passion, without business, without entertainment, without care. »
    Blaise Pascal
