I grew up with 'Life' magazine on the coffee table, Life cereal on the breakfast table, and the game of Life on the card table. People were just so happy to be alive, I guess.

Lorrie Moore

I have no intention of telling people what I have for breakfast.

Princess Margaret

Night terrors are very different from nightmares. A lot of people will think they're the same, but they're really not. Night terrors - you want to look at the time of night when you're having the problem. Night Terrors happen in deep sleep. Nightmares tend to happen in a lighter REM sleep.

Shelby Harris

I absolutely insist that all my boys are in bed before breakfast

Colin Ingleby-Mackenzie

I wish the whole day were like breakfast, when people are still connected to their dreams, focused inward, and not yet ready to engage with the world around them. I realized this is how I am all day; for me, unlike other people, there doesn't come a moment after a cup of coffee or a shower or whatever when I suddenly feel alive and awake and connected to the world. If it were always breakfast, I would be fine.

Peter Cameron

The real test of your Christianity is not how pious you look at the Lord's table on Sunday, but how you act at the breakfast table at home. If it takes two cups of coffee to make you fit to live with, you had better go to the mourner's bench.

Vance Havner

It is generally my thesis then to insist on the importance of imagination in sex, to insist that the practice of sex, as performed among human beings, be accorded the same deliberate and playful application of fancy, imagination and intelligence as any other significant human activity.

John Norman

Freud was a hero. He descended to the Underworld and met there stark terrors. He carried with him his theory as a Medusa's head which turned these terrors to stone.

R. D. Laing

Stop telling yourself that dreams don't matter, that they are only dreams and that you should be more sensible.

Julia Cameron

I don't think the problem is telling people you're on a diet. The problem is eating ice cream for breakfast.

Chelsea Handler

I have a New Year's tradition. I lay all my travel dreams on the table, sort them out, prioritize, and begin the process of turning those dreams into reality.

Rick Steves

Did not one spend the first half of one's days in dreams of happiness and the second half in regrets and terrors?

Emile Zola

The walk downstairs to the breakfast table is excercise enough for any gentleman.

Chauncey Depew

I really don't like the idea of people knowing what I am doing. I find telling everybody what you had for breakfast is really uninspiring.

Jim Sturgess

I really dont like the idea of people knowing what I am doing. I find telling everybody what you had for breakfast is really uninspiring.

Jim Sturgess

"Why are breakfast food breakfast foods?" I asked them. "Like, why don't we have curry for breakfast?" "Hazel, eat." "But why?" I asked. "I mean seriously: How did scrambled eggs get stuck with breakfast exclusivity? You can put bacon on a sandwich without anyone freaking out. But the moment your sandwich has an egg, boom, it's a breakfast sandwich."

John Green
