Man Asleep

Famous quotes containing the words man and/or asleep:

    The man whose silent days
    In harmless joys are spent,
    Whom hopes cannot delude,
    Nor sorrow discontent:

    That man needs neither towers
    Nor armour for defence,
    Nor secret vaults to fly
    From thunder’s violence.
    Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    Old age: I fall asleep during the funerals of my friends.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
