“A child should never go to bed, they only wake up a day older.”

“Nonsense. Young boys should never be sent to bed. They always wake up a day older, and then before you know it, they're grown.”

“Never go to sleep with bad thoughts and torturing memories. They will not help you to wake up whole and fully serene—the two states of mind and body without which no man can acquit himself well at his day's task. A child should be ushered into the chamber of sleep with serene joy.”

“My philosophy of life: Wake up. Be happy. Hurt no one. Go to bed. Wake up. Repeat.”

“When I saw him I thought I could curl up inside him and go to sleep and never wake up." "Men are no good for that, Masha. They'll always want you working, when you're not softening their fall into bed at the end of the day.”

“Why can I never go back to bed? Who's is the voice ringing in my head? Where is the sense in these desperate dreams? Why should I wake when I'm half past dead?”
