‘Night […] is the world of substance, that which exists underneath and itself exists on nothing else. That which is not accident or attribute, that is, it comes to nothing and refers or applies to nothing, except itself’
J.-L. Nancy, ‘The Fall of Sleep’ (trans. C. Mandell)

You ever just wake up from an incredibly graphic and realistic nightmare that was a pure psychological horror based on your own personal phobias and trauma and just roll over like “aw shit I got too hot last night I guess.” And then make toast like you didn’t just experience the nine circles of hell before 9 am

in the dark I found my sight
And there your name was written large in letters bright!
There my faith was! "Worry not!" declared the night

"How to sleep in a world without a lullaby, without a lulling refrain, without a capacity for forgetting, without unconsciousness itself?"
—The Fall of Sleep: The Soul That Never Sleeps. Jean-Luc Nancy. Translated by Charlotte Mandell.
"Like death, sleep, for the body stretches out alone there, is alone there outstretched. Outstretched alone there, there, a here like nowhere. Nowhere else but a weighty body cast down, laid out (...) Like sleep, death: body deposed."
sleep: "a necessary apathy—passions, sorrows, and joys must be asleep, desire must rest too"

"Bruce is terrible at communicating to his kids that they are family instead of a job, that he's their father and not their boss, and that he views them as his children, not just his wards-" BITCH where do you think he LEARNED that from
