“All I ever feel like doing is sleeping. I guess because it doesn't hurt as bad when you're asleep.”

“Another thing I need to do, when I'm near the end of the book, is sleep in the same room with it...Somehow the book doesn't leave you when you're asleep right next to it.”

“I feel like I'm sleeping when I'm awake, and really living when I'm asleep.”

“It's sad to fall asleep. It separates people. Even when you're sleeping together, you're all alone.”
