Famous quotes related to wake up:
“‘Have we any control over being born?,’ my friend asked in despair. ‘No, the job is done for us while we’re sleeping, so to speak, and when we wake up everything is all set. We merely appear, like an ornate celebrity wheeled out in a wheelchair.’ ‘I don’t remember,’ my friend claimed. ‘No need to,’ I said: ‘what need have us free-loaders for any special alertness? We’re done for.’”
—Marvin Cohen, U.S. author and humorist. The Self-Devoted Friend, New Directions (1967)
“The world of men is dreaming, it has gone mad in its sleep, and a snake is strangling it, but it can’t wake up.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Why should the generations overlap one another at all? Why cannot we be buried as eggs in neat little cells with ten or twenty thousand pounds each wrapped round us in Bank of England notes, and wake up, as the Sphinx wasp does, to find that its papa and mamma have not only left ample provision at its elbow but have been eaten by sparrows some weeks before we began to live consciously on our own accounts?”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“If you wake up dead in the morning, your body drained dry of blood, you’ll be afraid of the dark.”
—Guy Endore, and Tod Browning. Chauffeur (Franklyn Ardel)
“There was on old person of Fratton
Who went to church with his hat on.
‘If I wake up,’ he said,
‘With my hat on my head,
I shall know that it hasn’t been sat on.’”
—Anonymous.
