Sleeping Late


"The bed is a bundle of paradoxes:
we go to it with reluctance, yet we quit it with regret;
we make up our minds every night to leave it early,
but we make up our bodies every morning to keep it late."

-- Rev. Charles Caleb Colton, 
Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words:
Addressed to Those Who Think

Dismantled alarm clock 10-1-14

"The alarm in the morning? 
Well, I have an old tape of Carlo Maria Giulini conducting
the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in a perfectly transcendent 
version of Schubert's seventh symphony.
And I've rigged it up so that exactly 7:30 every morning
it falls from the ceiling onto my face."

-- Stephen Fry


"If people were meant to pop out of bed,
we'd all sleep in toasters."

-- Unknown
