Suppress Rem Sleep

Famous quotes containing the words suppress and/or sleep:

    I want to celebrate these elms which have been spared by the plague, these survivors of a once flourishing tribe commemorated by all the Elm Streets in America. But to celebrate them is to be silent about the people who sit and sleep underneath them, the homeless poor who are hauled away by the city like trash, except it has no place to dump them. To speak of one thing is to suppress another.
    Lisel Mueller (b. 1924)

    Give us a good cheap twenty-four-hour day,
    No part of which we’d have to waste, I say,
    And who knows where we can’t get! Wasting time
    In sleep or slowness is the deadly crime.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
