Sleep People Demand

More From Fran Lebowitz

Presently it appears that people are mainly concerned with being well rested. those capable of uninterrupted sleep are much admired. unconsciousness is in great demand. this is the day of the milligram. the rigors of learning how to do long division have been a traditional part of childhood, just like learning to smoke. in fact, as far as i am concerned, the two go hand in hand. any child who cannot do long division by himself does not deserve to smoke.

There is an indian story -- at least i heard it as an indian story -- about an englishman who, having been told that the world rested on a platform which rested on the back of an elephant which rested in turn on the back of a turtle, asked (perhaps he was an ethnographer; it is the way they behave), what did the turtle rest on? another turtle. and that turtle?

Sleep is really important. you need to rest the physiology to be able to work weel and meditate well. when i don't get enough sleep, my meditations are duller. you may even dip into sleep at the beginning of your meditation, because you're settling down. but if you're well rested, you'll have a clearer deeper experience.

Friendship Vanity Littles
When we consider that each of us has only one life to live, isn’t it rather tragic to find men and women, with brains capable of comprehending the stars and the planets, talking about the weather; men and women, with hands capable of creating works of art, using those hands only for routine tasks; men and women, capable of independent thought, using their minds as a bowling-alley for popular ideas; men and women, capable of greatness, wallowing in mediocrity; men and women, capable of self-expression, slowly dying a mental death while they babble the confused monotone of the mob?
