Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task go to sleep in peace.

Sydney in the 1960s wasn't the exuberant multicultural metropolis it is today. Out in the city's western reaches days passed in a sun-struck stupor. In the evenings families gathered on their verandas waiting for the 'southerly buster' - the thunderstorm that would break the heat and leave the air cool enough to allow sleep.

Every night I fell asleep to a different Beatles album. So I'm very familiar with the Beatles Ringo was my favorite Beatle until I grew up and then changed. I made the switch over to George Harrison just in time to regain my cool.

Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee and just as hard to sleep after.

I think clothes should make you feel safe. I like clothes you want to go to sleep in. I sometimes stand in front of a mirror and change a million times because I know I really want to wear my nightgown.

I change during the course of a day. I wake and I'm one person and when I go to sleep I know for certain I'm somebody else.

Without change something sleeps inside us and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.

I was 16 years old driving to LA and sleeping in my car just trying to make it happen.

In the heat of the Russian summer a sleeping car is the most horrible instrument of martyrdom imaginable.

I love sleeping in a moving car more than sleeping in bed.

When I am traveling in a carriage or walking after a good meal or during the night when I cannot sleep it is on such occasions that ideas flow best and most abundantly.

Sleep is good death is better but of course the best thing would to have never been born at all.

Meditation is all about the pursuit of nothingness. It's like the ultimate rest. It's better than the best sleep you've ever had. It's a quieting of the mind. It sharpens everything especially your appreciation of your surroundings. It keeps life fresh.

If you're lucky enough to have a pretty girl love you and share herself and sleep with you make that your secret. The best way to spoil love is by talking to too many people about it.

Now I see the secret of making the best person: it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.

The best cure for insomnia is to get a lot of sleep.

What we have found in this country and maybe we're more aware of it now is one problem that we've had even in the best of times and that is the people who are sleeping on the grates the homeless you might say by choice.

Sleep is the best meditation.

We are at our very best and we are happiest when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we've established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful so worthwhile.

When I first thought of the idea for 'Sweet Valley High ' I loved the idea of high school as microcosm of the real world. And what I really liked was how it moved things on from 'Sleeping Beauty'-esque romance novels where the girl had to wait for the hero. This would be girl-driven very different I decided - and indeed it is.

I think that the biggest beauty essential is as simple as a good full night's sleep.

As a girl you're supposed to love Sleeping Beauty. I mean who wants to love Sleeping Beauty when you can be Aladdin?

I shall give you hunger and pain and sleepless nights. Also beauty and satisfactions known to few and glimpses of the heavenly life. None of these you shall have continually and of their coming and going you shall not be foretold.

I like to embrace natural beauty. I try to get at least 8 hours of sleep drinking a lot of water and exercising.
