Quote by Thomas Wolfe

In Sleep we lie all naked and alone, in Sleep we are united at the heart of night and darkness, and we are strange and beautiful asleep for we are dying the darkness and we know no death.

In Sleep we lie all naked and alone, in Sleep we are united

Summary

This quote emphasizes the power and beauty of sleep. It suggests that during sleep, we transcend our physical existence and connect with the depths of darkness and night. In this state, we become a curious amalgamation of vulnerability and mystery, as we confront the inevitable experience of death without the fear or understanding of it. Sleep is portrayed as a unifying force that allows us to strip away our externalities and experience a profound sense of tranquility and serenity.
