“Part of my function as a writer is to dream awake. And that usually happens. If I sit down to write in the morning, in the beginning of that writing session and the ending of that session, I'm aware that I'm writing. I'm aware of my surroundings. It's like shallow sleep on both ends, when you go to bed and when you wake up. But in the middle, the world is gone and I'm able to see better.” IfsWorldWritingEndsDreamHappensAbleSleepMorningGoneMiddleBedFunctionWake UpAwakeShallowSurroundingsSession Author:Stephen King
“Many mornings I check out the news as soon as I wake up, because if it turns out that the world is coming to an end that day, I am going to eat the frosting off an entire carrot cake; just for a start.

“I'm not the kind of writer that can wake up and say, "Okay, I'm gonna write a song today," and have that song be the kind I would want to record. The songs of mine that I end up liking are songs that come from real experience. They're like chapter titles in my life.” WantWritingKindRealEndsTodaySongRecordsMinesOkayWake UpTitlesChapters Author:Lyle Lovett
“Money spent on vegetative patients is money not spent on preventive care, such as flu shots and mammograms. Each night in an ICU bed for such patients is a night that another patient with a genuine prognosis for recovery is denied such high-end care. Every dollar exhausted on patients who will never wake up again is a dollar not devoted to finding a cure for cancer.” EndsCareNightBedFindingsShotsWake UpDollarsPatientCancerGenuineRecoveryCuresDeniedDevotedExhaustedFluMammogramsPrognosisPreventive Care Author:Jacob M.
