Isolated Sleep Paralysis

Famous quotes containing the words isolated and/or sleep:

    The improved American highway system ... isolated the American-in-transit. On his speedway ... he had no contact with the towns which he by-passed. If he stopped for food or gas, he was served no local fare or local fuel, but had one of Howard Johnson’s nationally branded ice cream flavors, and so many gallons of Exxon. This vast ocean of superhighways was nearly as free of culture as the sea traversed by the Mayflower Pilgrims.
    Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    Pollicle dogs and cats all must
    Jellicle cats and dogs all must
    Like undertakers, come to dust.
    Here a little dog I pause
    Heaving up my prior paws,
    Pause, and sleep endlessly.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
