Destiny is something we've invented because we can't stand the fact that everything that happens is accidental.

At one time my only wish was to be a police official. It seemed to me to be an occupation for my sleepless intriguing mind. I had the idea that there, among criminals, were people to fight: clever, vigorous, crafty fellows. Later I realized that it was good that I did not become one, for most police cases involve misery and wretchedness -- not crimes and scandals.

Ten days and nights, with sleepless eye, I watched that wretched man, And since, I never dare to write As funny as I can.
|
O sleepless heart and sombre soul unsleeping, That were athirst for sleep and no more life...
|
I'm going to get out of bed every morning and breathe in and out all day long. Then, after a while, I won't have to remind myself to get out of bed in the morning and breathe in and out. And then after a while, I won't have to think about how I had it great and perfect for a while.
|
Beware of rashness, but with energy, and sleepless vigilance, go forward and give us victories.
|
If it was an overnight success, it was one long, hard, sleepless night.
|
Impossible to spend sleepless nights and accomplish anything: if, in my youth, my parents had not financed my insomnias, I should surely have killed myself.
