Sleep Terror Disorder

Famous quotes containing the words sleep, terror and/or disorder:

    “Around, the night drops swiftly down
    Its veils; does not condemn
    Or praise the different actions done.
    The hour that strikes across the town
    Caresses all and injures none
    As sleep approaches them.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “We see daily that our lives are terrible and little, without continuity, buyable and salable at any moment, mere blips on a screen, that this is the way we live now. Memory marketed as nostalgia; terror reduced to mere suspense, to melodrama.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “I have come back
    but disorder is not what it was.
    I have lost the trick of it!
    The innocence of it!”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
