Sleep is an eight-hour peep show of infantile erotica.

Summary

This quote suggests that sleep is a time when our unconscious desires and fantasies are revealed, likening it to a voyeuristic experience. It implies that during sleep, our mind becomes vulnerable and transforms into a playground for our deepest and sometimes childlike erotic thoughts. By framing sleep as a peep show of infantile erotica, the quote challenges the notion that sleep is a peaceful and innocent state, instead emphasizing its potential for revealing our secret and primal desires.

The first and most important rule to observe...is to use our entire forces with the utmost energy. The second rule is to concentrate our power as much as possible against that section where the chief blows are to be delivered and to incur disadvantages elsewhere, so that our chances of success may increase at the decisive point. The third rule is never to waste time. Unless important advantages are to be gained from hesitation, it is necessary to set to work at once. By this speed a hundred enemy measures are nipped in the bud, and public opinion is won most rapidly. Finally, the fourth rule is to follow up our successes with the utmost energy. Only pursuit of the beaten enemy gives the fruits of victory.
