Sleepless

Famous quotes containing the word sleepless:

    O Sleepless as the river under thee,
    Vaulting the sea, the prairies dreaming sod,
    Unto us lowliest sometime sweep, descend
    As of the curveship lend a myth to God.
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    Now lapdogs give themselves the rousing shake,
    And sleepless lovers, just at twelve, awake:
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    I sometimes wonder whether, in the still, sleepless hours of the night, the consciences of ... professional gossips do not stalk them. I myself believe in a final reckoning, when we shall be held accountable for our misdeeds. Do they? If so, they have cause to worry over many scoops that brought them a day’s dubious laurels and perhaps destroyed someone’s peace forever.
    Mary Pickford (1893–1979)
