Soul Sleep

Famous quotes containing the words soul and/or sleep:

“Immortality will come to such as are fit for it, and he who would be a great soul in future must be a great soul now. It is a doctrine too great to rest on any legend, that is, on any man’s experience but our own.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“How gladly would I meet,
Mortality, my sentence, and be earth
Insensible! how glad would lay me down,
As in my mother’s lap! There I should rest,
And sleep secure.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
