I awoke, only to find that the rest of the world is still asleep.
--
He was like a man who awoke too early in the darkness, while the others were all still asleep. Was a comment written by Sigmund Freud.Leonardo da Vinci

There was no despondency when she fell asleep that night; nor was there hope when she awoke in the morning.
Kate Chopin
There was no pain when I awoke,
No pain at all. Rest, like a goad,
Spurred my eyes open — and light broke
Upon them like a million swords:
And she was there. There are no words.Stephen Vincent Benet
In 1909, he published a little book of some hundred pages, Europe's Optical Illusion, and he awoke one morning to find himself famous.
Norman Angell
He [the King of Morocco] spends half his time asleep and the rest of it buried between the legs of the fairer sex.
Muhammad Reza Pahlavi
Spirituality means waking up. Most people, even though they don't know it, are asleep. They're born asleep, they live asleep, they marry in their sleep, they breed children in their sleep, they die in their sleep without ever waking up. They never understand the loveliness and the beauty of this thing that we call human existence. You know — all mystics — Catholic, Christian, non-Christian, no matter what their theology, no matter what their religion — are unanimous on one thing: that all is well, all is well. Though everything is a mess, all is well. Strange paradox, to be sure. But, tragically, most people never get to see that all is well because they are asleep. They are having a nightmare.
