Famous quotes containing the word wake:
“No matter what time it is, wake me, even if it’s in the middle of a Cabinet meeting.”

“Some say that gleams of a remoter world
Visit the soul in sleep,—that death is slumber,
And that its shapes the busy thoughts outnumber
Of those who wake and live.—”

“The stabbing horror of life is not contained in calamities and disasters, because these things wake one up and one gets very familiar and intimate with them and finally they become tame again....

—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
