Our life is a loan received from death with sleep as the daily interest on this loan.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Sleep, Life Is, Loan

Arthur Schopenhauer (2004). “On the Suffering of the World”, p.47, Penguin UK

Do not shorten the morning by getting up late, or waste it in unworthy occupations or in talk; look upon it as the quintessence of life, as to a certain extent sacred. Evening is like old age: we are languid, talkative, silly. Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Morning, Silly, Sleep

Arthur Schopenhauer (2015). “Counsels and Maxims: Top of Schopenhauer”, p.34, 谷月社

Arthur Schopenhauer

Sleep, Men, Clock

Arthur Schopenhauer

Sleep, Insomnia, Redemption
