{{quote|''How can I then return in happy plight,<br />
''That am debarr'd the benefit of rest?<br />
''When day's oppression is not eased by night,<br />
''But day by night, and night by day, oppress'd?<br />
''And each, though enemies to either's reign,<br />
''Do in consent shake hands to torture me;<br />
''The one by toil, the other to complain<br />
''How far I toil, still farther off from thee.<br />
''I tell the day, to please them thou art bright<br />
''And dost him grace when clouds do blot the heaven:<br />
''So flatter I the swart-complexion'd night,<br />
''When sparkling stars twire not thou gild'st the even.<br />
''But day doth daily draw my sorrows longer<br />
''And night doth nightly make grief's strength seem stronger.''|'''[[William Shakespeare]]'''}}
 
{{quote|''"I detest sleep. I've got better things to do. Besides, I find it frightening - to awaken and be unsure of everything you remember about life not being just part of a dream. Waking means I've slept, and sleep dissolves what certainty I have left."''|'''[[Johnny the Homicidal Maniac]]'''}}
 
{{quote|''"You only get one shot at life. Why waste it on sleep?"''|'''Gustav Graves''', ''[[Die Another Day (Film)|Die Another Day]]''}}
