“Shutting my eyes, I dreamed in formulas.”
“I shut my eyes in order to see.”
“I shut my eyes tightly, willing myself to go back to sleep. I want to go back to my dream, back to Caleb. I can't fucking breathe ! I can't breathe without him. I don't want to.”
“I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my eyes and all is born again.”
“When I shut my eyes on this world I'll finally have peace.”
“...one of the roles of man is to shut his eyes and keep them shut to see if he can continue into the night of his old age the dream curtailed in the night of his youth.”
