More Sleepwalking Quotes

We say that life is sweet, its satisfactions deep. All this we say, as we sleepwalk our time through years of days and nights.

And just another Monday. — Josephine Hart

More often than not, happiness is but the surface of despair. — Alfred Brendel

You’re just a little bit crazy. Will you remember that, please? — Thornton Wilder

And between the past and the future is crushed your present, the only reality. — Osho

Come on you liberals, don't give me the morbid pleasure of saying, 'I told you so' again. — Julie Burchill
