quotations about beds
Daddy built it out of pine two days before the wedding
They say the neighbors cheered and hollered till his face got red
And mama brought the feather pillows and some handmade bedding
And they spent their wedding night in that big four poster bed
That night they swore like that bed their love would last forever
And they'd ask no more of life than the simple things they had
So they planed there future as they laid close together
And later I was born there in that big four poster bed
BRENDA LEE

I climbed into bed, wide awake and full of dreams.

The day is done
The sun is down
The curtains have been drawn
And darkness has descended over everything in town
The covers have been turned and I've got my pajamas on
I've had my fun
I've stretched and yawned and all is said and done
I'm going to bed
THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS

Would you have a settled head,
You must early go to bed;
I tell you, and I tell 't again,
You must be in bed at ten.

No civilized person ever goes to bed the same day he gets up.
RICHARD HARDING DAVIS

It is comforting when one has a sorrow to lie in the warmth of one's bed and there, abandoning all effort and all resistance, to bury even one's head under the cover, giving one's self up to it, completely, moaning like branches in the autumn wind.

Stretch the tired limbs and lay the head
Down on our own delightful bed.

I like to do things in bed. I fold the laundry on the bed. Food tastes better to me when I'm under the covers. Bed is the only place to read, the best place to talk on the phone.
ELIZABETH BERG

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.

To go to bed after midnight is to go to bed betimes.

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
Being sent to bed is a terrible command to all children, because it means the most public possible humiliation in front of adults, the confession that they bear the stigma of childhood, of being small and having a child's need for sleep.
