&ldquo;Resist much, obey little.&rdquo; <br /> ― Walt Whitman<br /> &ldquo;If you are a dreamer come in<br /> If you are a dreamer a wisher a liar<br /> A hoper a pray-er a magic-bean-buyer<br /> If youre a pretender com sit by my fire<br /> For we have some flax golden tales to spin<br /> Come in! <br /> Come in!&quot;<br /> Shel Silverstein


I will feel the pain slip away,
as I drift off to sleep in a slumberous way,
escape into dreams of wondrous feats,
to live in a world of make belief,
no more defeat,
no more being weak,
for when I sleep,
no more pain shall I keep.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.<br /> Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.<br /> <br /> It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.<br /> We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,<br /> gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?<br /> <br /> Actually, who are you not to be?<br /> You are a child of God.<br /> <br /> Your playing small does not serve the world.<br /> There is nothing enlightened about shrinking<br /> so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you.<br /> We are all meant to shine, as children do.<br /> <br /> We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.<br /> It is not just in some; it is in everyone.<br /> <br /> And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give<br /> other people permission to do the same.<br /> As we are liberated from our fear,<br /> our presence automatically liberates others.&quot;<br /> Marianne Williamson

haha I like sleeping too. I feel similar about it. Great way to capture how much you like to sleep.
