Man Asleep

Famous quotes containing the words man and/or asleep:

    “I am actually not at all a man of science, not an observer, not an experimenter, not a thinker. I am by temperament nothing but a conquistador—an adventurer, if you want it translated—with all the curiosity, daring, and tenacity characteristic of a man of this sort.”
    —Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)

    ““... Or how should love be worth its pains were it not
    That when he has fallen asleep within my arms,
    Being wearied out, I love in man the child?
    What can they know of love that do not know
    She builds her nest upon a narrow ledge
    Above a windy precipice?””
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
