quotations about beds
How it is I know not; but there is no place like a bed for confidential disclosures between friends. Man and wife, they say, there open the very bottom of their souls to each other; and some old couples often lie and chat over old times till nearly morning.
HERMAN MELVILLE
Moby Dick
Ten, struck the church clock, straight to bed went he.
ROBERT BROWNING
How it Strikes a Contemporary
I wonder if you still think about us,
the way I do.
How our legs would crash
into each other in the middle
of the night, and how we ended
up creating the moon in the
confines of our beds.
ZAEEMA J. HUSSAIN
The Sky Is Purple
In bed we laugh, in bed we cry;
And born in bed, in bed we die;
The near approach a bed may show
Of human bliss to human woe.
ISAAC DE BENSERADE
A Son Lit
The bed comprehends our whole life, for we were born in it, we live in it, and we shall die in it.
GUY DE MAUPASSANT
The Bed
The delight of night-time when, having had to get up to go shiveringly to the icy lavatory in the tower, into which the air creeps through the ill-fitting window, we later return deliciously to our room, feeling a smile of happiness distend our lips, finding it hard not to jump for sheer joy at the thought of the big bed already warm with our warmth, of the still burning fire, the hot-water bottle, the coverlets and blankets which have imparted their heat to the bed into which we are about to slip, walled in, embattled, hiding ourselves to the chin as against enemies thundering at the gates, who will not (and the thought brings gaiety) get the better of us, since they do not even know where we have so snugly gone to earth, laughing at the wind which is roaring outside, climbing up all the chimneys to every floor of the great house, conducting a search on each landing, trying all the locks.
MARCEL PROUST
Jean Santeuil
It's the table and the bed that count in life. And everything else we do, we do so we can get back to the table, back to the bed.
MARLENA DE BLASI
A Thousand Days in Tuscany
We might not be able to stay in bed forever, but I'd settle for all day.
MATT ABRAMS
She's Toxic
The bed has become a place of luxury to me! I would not exchange it for all the thrones in the world.
NAPOLEON BONAPARTE
attributed, Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations
Kiss me on the left, kiss me on the right
Whit you're uh uh, boy, you make me happy all night
Boom, boom, boom my heart's going
All I want to do is stay in bed with you
SARAH CONNOR
"Let's Get Back to Bed, Boy!"
Bed's too big without you
Cold wind blows right through that open door
I can't sleep with your memory
Dreaming dreams of what used to be
THE POLICE

This can't last forever

Bed of nails
