Sleep – Tercer-Sol

We are, as a species, addicted to story. Even when the body goes to sleep, the mind stays up all night, telling itself stories.

Jonathan Gottschall, The Storytelling Animal: How Stories Make Us Human

I know only one thing. When i sleep, i know no fear, no, trouble no bliss. Blessing on him who invented sleep. The common coin that purchases all things, the balance that levels shepherd and king, fool and wise man. There is only one bad thing about sound sleep. They say it closely resembles death.”

Andrei Tarkovsky, Solaris (1972)
Based on the novel by Stanislaw Lem
