“Every time you come in yelling that God damn "Rise and Shine!" "Rise and Shine!"
I say to myself, "How lucky dead people are!”
I say to myself, "How lucky dead people are!”

“Do you wake up as I do, having forgotten what it is that hurts or
where, until you move?
There is a second of consciousness that is clean
again.
A second that is you, without memory or experience,
the animal
warm and waking into a brand new world.”
-- Jeanette Winterson
“I didn't want to wake up.
I was having a much better time asleep.
And that's really sad.”
-- Ned Vizzini, It's Kind of a Funny Story
