Awake/content

Famous quotes containing the words awake and/or content:

“To be awake is to be alive. I have never yet met a man who was quite awake. How could I have looked him in the face?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“What is most original in a man’s nature is often that which is most desperate. Thus new systems are forced on the world by men who simply cannot bear the pain of living with what is. Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique. If Hitler had been born in Nazi Germany he wouldn’t have been content to enjoy the atmosphere.”
—Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
