I fell asleep reading a dull book and dreamed I kept on reading, so I awoke from sheer boredom.
Heinrich HeineAs the stars are the glory of the sky, so great men are the glory of their country, yea, of the whole earth. The hearts of great men are the stars of earth; and doubtless when one looks down from above upon our planet, these hearts are seen to send forth, a silvery light just like the stars of heaven.
Heinrich Heine
