• Do you check it when you travel, do you check it when you're just at home? They'd be able to tell something called your 'pattern of life.' When are you doing these kind of activities?

• Mankind . . . possesses two supreme blessings. First of these is the goddess Demeter, or Earth whichever name you choose to call her by. It was she who gave to man his nourishment of grain. But after her there came the son of Semele, who matched her present by inventing liquid wine as his gift to man. For filled with that good gift, suffering mankind forgets its grief; from it comes sleep; with it oblivion of the troubles of the day. There is no other medicine for misery.

The past with its anguish will break through every defense-line of custom and habit; we must sleep and therefore we must dream.

• I work, and then whenever I have any other time, I'm with my daughter, and then I go to sleep. I think you basically have to abandon the dreams of having any other adult activities in your life. You have to go to sleep whenever your child goes to sleep. That's basically how we're doing it.

• When on a summer's morn I wake,
  And open my two eyes,
  Out to the clear, born-singing rills
  My bird-like spirit flies.
  
  To hear the Blackbird, Cuckoo, Thrush,
  Or any bird in song;
  And common leaves that hum all day
  Without a throat or tongue.
  
  And when Time strikes the hour for sleep,
  Back in my room alone,
  My heart has many a sweet bird's song -
  And one that's all my own.

• How peacefully he sleep!
  Yet may his ever-questing spirit, freed at length
  from all the frettings of this little world,
  Wander at will among the uncharted stars.
  Fairfield his name. Perchance celestial fields
  disclosing long sought secrets of the past
  Spread 'neath his enraptured gaze
  And beasts and men that to his earthly sight
  were merely bits of stone shall live again to
  gladden those eager eyes.
  o let us picture him-enthusiast-scientist-friend-
  Seeker of truth and light through all eternity!
