The state has no place in the nation’s bedrooms. Pierre Trudeau, interview 22nd December 1967
The second night, I did not sleep in the dormitory – I went to the room. I swept the floor, tied the mosquito net to four nails on the wall, and went to sleep. In the middle of the night, I understood why the mosquito net had been left there. Noises woke me up. The wall was covered with cockroaches, which had come to feed on the minerals or the limestone in the plaster; their chewing made a continuous noise, and their antennae trembled from every spot on the wall. Somme of the cockroaches landed on top of the net; from inside, I could see their dark bodies against its white weave. I folded in the fibre of the net and crushed one of them. Aravinda Adiga, The White Tiger p131

Why can’t you share your bed? The most loving thing to do is to share your bed with someone. It’s very charming. It’s very sweet. It’s what the whole world should do. Michael Jackson
Well what’s wrong with sharing your bed? I didn’t say I slept in the bed. If I did sleep in the bed, it’s OK. I am not going to do anything sexual to a child. It’s not where my heart is. I’d slit my wrists first. I would never do anything like that. That’s not Michael Jackson, I’m sorry. That’s someone else. That’s someone else. Michael Jackson interview

Daily dawns another day;
I must up, to make my way.
Though I dress and drink and eat,
Move my fingers and my feet,
Learn a little, here and there,
Weep and laugh and sweat and swear,
Hear a song, or watch a stage,
Leave some words upon a page,
Claim a foe, or hail a friend –
Bed awaits me at the end. Dorothy Parker
What I tend to do is, I give ’em [sheets] a good sniff and if they’re not too whiffy I just leave ’em on for another couple of days. The Catherine Tate Show, Bernie to Carol

And dress by yellow candle-light.
