Is your fear of insomnia stronger than your fear of what awoke you? Are bonsai cruel? Do you love what you love, or just the feeling? Your earliest memories: do you look through your young eyes, or look at your young self? Which feels worse: to know that there are people who do more with less talent, or that there are people with more talent? Do you walk on moving walkways? Should it make any difference that you knew it was wrong �as you were doing it? Would you trade actual intelligence for the perception of being smarter? Why does it bother you when someone at the next table is having a conversation on a cell phone? How many years of your life would you trade for the greatest month of your life? What would you tell your father, if it were possible? Which is changing faster, your body, or your mind? Is it cruel to tell an old person his prognosis? Are you in any way angry at your phone? When you pass �a storefront, do you look at what’s inside, look at your reflection, or neither? Is there anything you would die for if no one could ever know you died for it? If you could be assured that money wouldn’t make �you any small bit happier, would you still want more money? What has �been irrevocably spoiled for you? If your deepest secret became public, �would you be forgiven? Is your best friend your kindest friend? Is it in any way cruel to give a dog a name? Is there anything you feel a need to confess? You know it’s a “murder of crows” and a “wake of buzzards” but it’s a what of ravens, again? What is it about death that you’re �afraid of? How does it make you feel to know that it’s an “unkindness �of ravens”?","author":"Jonathan Safran Foer","tags":["anger","bonsai","change","confession","cruelty","death","fear","feeling","happiness","insomnia","intelligence","kindness","love","memories","money","perception","potential","sacrifice","secrets","spoiled","talent","youth"],"id":27482,"author_id":"Jonathan+Safran+Foer"},{"text":"Like chocolate, she craved sleep and it made her life brighter, but she could do without.","author":"Thomm Quackenbush","tags":["chocolate","insomnia","sleep"],"id":27724,"author_id":"Thomm+Quackenbush"},{"text":"That gap between half sleep and half awakening has always been occupied by nostalgia.","author":"Shreya Gupta","tags":["insomnia","nostalgia","sleep"],"id":31082,"author_id":"Shreya+Gupta"},{"text":"...Infirmity alone makes us take notice and learn, and enables us to analyse mechanisms of which otherwise we should know nothing. A man who falls straight into bed night after night, and ceases to live until the moment when he wakes and rises, will surely never dream of making, I don't say great discoveries, but even minor observations about sleep. He scarcely knows that he is asleep. A little insomnia is not without its value in making us appreciate sleep, in throwing a ray of light upon that darkness. An unfailing memory is not a very powerful incentive to the study of the phenomena of memory.","author":"Marcel Proust","tags":["incentive-to-study","insomnia","memory"],"id":41567,"author_id":"Marcel+Proust"},{"text":"During last night’s insomnia, as these thoughts came and went between my aching temples, I realised once again, what I had almost forgotten in this recent period of relative calm, that I tread a terribly tenuous, indeed almost non-existent soil spread over a pit full of shadows, whence the powers of darkness emerge at will to destroy my life….","author":"Franz Kafka","tags":["calm","darkness","destruction","insomnia"],"id":50135,"author_id":"Franz+Kafka"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":111,"pages":12,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
