“Some people sleep their lives away. But I also want to sleep death away. If I sleep long enough, maybe death will think I’m already dead and pass me by.”
“When in the down I sink my head,Sleep, Death's twin-brother, times my breath;Sleep, Death's twin-brother, knows not Death,Nor can I dream of thee as dead:”
“Can death be sleep, when life is but a dream, And scenes of bliss pass as a phantom by?---"On death”
“Why do people want to pretend that death is sleep? It isn't. It isn't.”
“It’s not that I wanted to die . I just wanted to go to sleep for long enough for my life to find some meaning again.”
“For me, sleeping is a waste of time. I'm afraid to sleep. It's a form of death.”
