Sleep Quotes

One time we stayed at a B&B, and there were a couple of hippies who had this nice little area and they let us sleep in their beds that they had in the back.Then the woman suggested we go out and lie on some cushions and look up at the stars and look for UFOs and she said, "You know, I do this all the time," and I was like, "Okay..."

How are you better than I am?' So I've finally met people that walk the walk and it's made me happy, really happy.
