Famous quotes containing the words sleeping and/or sickness:

    “There’s plunder—where?
    Tankard, or spoon,
    Earring, or stone,
    A watch, some ancient brooch
    To match the grandmamma,
    Staid sleeping there.”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    “The sickness of our times for me has been just this damn thing that everything has been getting smaller and smaller and less and less important, that the romantic spirit has dried up, that there is no shame today.... We’re all getting so mean and small and petty and ridiculous, and we all live under the threat of extermination.”
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
