| For my part I love sleepy fellows, and the more ignorant the better. Damn your wide-awake and knowing chaps. As for sleepiness, it is one of the noblest qualities of humanity. There is something sociable about it, too. Think of those sensible & sociable millions of good fellows all taking a good long friendly snooze together, under the sod—no quarrels, no imaginary grievances, no envies, heart-burnings, & thinking how much better that other chap is off—none of this: but all equally free-&-easy, they sleep away & reel off their nine knots an hour, in perfect amity. |
| ~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. Letter, May 25, 1862, to his brother, Thomas Melville. Correspondence, vol. 14, The Writings of Herman Melville, ed. Lynn Horth (1993). ~ |
