Famous quotes containing the words big and/or sleep:

    “Roach, foulest of creatures,
    who attacks with yellow teeth
    and an army of cousins big as shoes ...”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “To long for that which comes not. To lie a-bed and sleep not. To serve well and please not. To have a horse that goes not. To have a man obeys not. To lie in jail and hope not. To be sick and recover not. To lose one’s way and know not. To wait at door and enter not, and to have a friend we trust not: are ten such spites as hell hath not.”
    —John Florio (c. 1553–1625)
