Slumber party with Dracula, all things considerd why not?
Jeaniene Frost
Image
Slumber not in the tents of your fathers. The world is advancing.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Image
If nothing else will do to sever me from my sins, Lord, send me such sore and trying calamities as shall awake me from earthly slumbers. It must always be best to be alive to Thee, whatever be the quickening instrument.
Robert E. Murray
Image
True greatness, first of all, is a thing of the heart. It is alive with robust and generous sympathies. It is neither behind its age nor too far before it. It is up with its age, and ahead of it only just so far as to be able to lead its march. It cannot slumber, for activity is a necessity of its existence. It is no reservoir, but a fountain.
Roswell Dwight Hitchcock
Image
Beside the brook and on the umbered meadow, Where yellow fern-tufts fleck the faded ground, With folded lids beneath their palmy shadow The gentian nods in dewy slumbers bound.
Sarah Helen Whitman
Image
Bedtime rituals for children ease the way to the elsewhere of slumber - teeth brushing and pajamas, the voice of a parent reading, the feel and smell of the old blanket or toy, the nightlight glowing in a corner.
Siri Hustvedt
Image
Love is watchful. Sleeping, it does not slumber. Wearied, it is not tired. Pressed, it is not straitened. Alarmed, it is not confused, but like a living flame, a burning torch, it forces its way upward and passes unharmed through every obstacle.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
A thought once awakened does not again slumber.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
None of us know all the potentialities that slumber in the spirit of the population, or all the ways in which that population can surprise us when there is the right interplay of events.
Vaclav Havel
Image
Well, you don't get to do things that other children get to do, having friends and slumber parties and buddies. There were none of that for me. I didn't have friends when I was little. My brothers were my friends.
Michael Jackson
Image
Novels so often provide an anodyne and not an antidote, glide one into torpid slumbers instead of rousing one with a burning brand.
Virginia Woolf
Image
If winter is slumber and spring is birth, and summer is life, then autumn rounds out to be reflection. It's a time of year when the leaves are down and the harvest is in and the perennials are gone. Mother Earth just closed up the drapes on another year and it's time to reflect on what's come before.
Mitchell Burgess
Image
To all, to each, a fair good-night, and pleasing dreams, and slumbers light.
Walter Scott
Image
Your love in a cottage is hungry, Your vine is a nest for flies- Your milkmaid shocks the Graces, And simplicity talks of pies! You lie down to your shady slumber And wake with a bug in your ear, And your damsel that walks in the morning Is shod like a mountaineer.
Nathaniel Parker Willis
Image
Philosophy, beginning in wonder, as Plato and Aristotle said, is able to fancy everything different from what it is. It sees the familiar as if it were strange, and the strange as if it were familiar. It can take things up and lay them down again. It rouses us from our native dogmatic slumber and breaks up our caked prejudices.
William James
Image
Some one invented the telephone, And interrupted a nation's slumbers, Ringing wrong but similar numbers.
Ogden Nash
Image
If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber'd here While these visions did appear.
William Shakespeare
Image
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died. If I never loved I never would have cried...I am a rock.
Paul Simon
Image
'Tis the soldier's life to have their balmy slumbers waked with strife.
William Shakespeare
Image
Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory Odours, when sweet violets sicken, Live within the sense they quicken. Rose leaves, when the rose is dead, Are heap'd for the belovèd's bed And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone, Love itself shall slumber on.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Image
God thinks in the geniusses, he dreams in the poets and slumbers in the rest of humanity.
Peter Altenberg
Image
The fire which seems extinguished often slumbers beneath the ashes.
Pierre Corneille
Image
The world is nothing, the man is all in yourself is the law of all nature, and you know not yet how a globule of sap ascends in yourself slumbers the whole of Reason it is for you to know all, it is for you to dare all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Sweet are the slumbers of the virtuous man.
Joseph Addison
