“When I awake, the world is still gone.”

“With paranoia on my heels Will you love me still When we awake and you see that The sanity has gone from my eyes?”

“Engaged, yet detached. Active, yet calm. Moving, yet still. This is how it is to be awake in the world.”

“I wish the whole day were like breakfast, when people are still connected to their dreams, focused inward, and not yet ready to engage with the world around them. I realized this is how I am all day; for me, unlike other people, there doesn't come a moment after a cup of coffee or a shower or whatever when I suddenly feel alive and awake and connected to the world. If it were always breakfast, I would be fine.”

“When the noise is gone, and the air is still . . .prepare for survival.”

“All men whilst they are awake are in one common world: but each of them, when he is asleep, is in a world of his own.”
