I have always been amazed at the way an ordinary observer lends so much more credence and attaches so much more importance to waking events than to those occurring in dreams... Man... is above all the plaything of his memory.

Those who have compared our life to a dream were right... we were sleeping wake and waking sleep.

The dreamer can know no truth not even about his dream except by awaking out of it.

Death is delightful. Death is dawn The waking from a weary night Of fevers unto truth and light.

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

Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth every fresh morning a little youth every going to rest and sleep a little death.

For too long our country's version of an energy policy has consisted of Americans waking up every day and wondering how much it will cost to drive to work how much it will cost to keep their business running how much it will cost to heat or cool their homes.

I am Classic Rock Revisited. I revisit it every waking moment of my life because it has the spirit and the attitude and the fire and the middle finger. I am Rosa Parks with a Gibson guitar.

The waking mind is the least serviceable in the arts.

You can't be as old as I am without waking up with a surprised look on your face every morning: 'Holy Christ whaddya know - I'm still around!' It's absolutely amazing that I survived all the booze and smoking and the cars and the career.
