“We were the only three people awake in a world half asleep and the air felt heavy with maybe.”
“What a name! Was it love or praise?Speech half-asleep or song half-awake?I must learn Spanish, one of these days,Only for that slow sweet name's sake.”
“When one realises one is asleep, at that moment one is already half-awake.”
“Once in everyone's life there is apt to be a period when he is fully awake, instead of half-asleep.”
“But I need to wake up somehow. Or maybe not. Maybe it’s best to get through the day half-asleep. Maybe that’s the only way to get through today.”
“The awake share a common world, but the asleep turn aside into private worlds.”
