Waking

Famous quotes containing the word waking:

    Elizabeth Gaskell (1810–1865)

    The waking mind ... is the least serviceable in the arts.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so the moment after death.
