Quote

"The burden of the world weighed me down with a sweet drowsiness such as commonly occurs during sleep. The thoughts with which I meditated about you were like the efforts of those who would like to get up but are overcome by deep sleep and sink back again. No one wants to be asleep all the time, and the same judgement of everyone judges it better to be awake." - St Augustine, Confessions, 8:12
