Its been a long long dayAnd you've got the sandman at your door. But hang on, leave the TV on and lets do it anyway.Its ok. You can always sleep through work tomorrow. Ok?Hey, Hey, Tomorrow's just your future yesterday.Tell the clock on the wall, 'Forget the wake up call.'Cause the night's not nearly through.Wipe the sleep from your eyes. Give yourself a surprise.Let your worries wait another day.And if you stay too late at the bar,At least you made it out this far. So make up your mind and say, 'Let's do it anyway!'Its OkYou can always sleep through work tomorrow, ok? Hey, Hey, Tomorrow's just your future yesterday. Life's too short to worry about the things that you can live withoutAnd I regret to say, the morning light is hours away.The world can be such a fright, But it belongs to us tonight.What's the point of going to bed?You look so lovely when your eyes are red.Tomorrow's just your future yesterday.","author":"Craig Ferguson","tags":["music","sleep","theme","tv","work"],"id":59660,"author_id":"Craig+Ferguson"},{"text":"If sacrifice is not the theme of my life, there’s no sense telling the story.","author":"Craig D.

Not because I don’t like stories to have a moral: certainly not because I think children dislike a moral. Rather because I feel sure that the question ‘What do modern children need?’ will not lead you to a good moral. If we ask that question we are assuming too superior an attitude. It would be better to ask ‘What moral do I need?’ for I think we can be sure that what does not concern us deeply will not deeply interest our readers, whatever their age. But it is better not to ask the question at all. Let the pictures tell you their own moral. For the moral inherent in them will rise from whatever spiritual roots you have succeeded in striking during the whole course of your life. But if they don’t show you any moral, don’t put one in.","author":"C.S.

This should be able to be achieved by apes, who are essentially imitators, provided, of course, that they are able to make use of language.","author":"Pierre Boulle","tags":["apes","books","imitation","language","theme","writing"],"id":144591,"author_id":"Pierre+Boulle"},{"text":"A piazza is not a plaza.
