From "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau:
"Why is it that men give so poor an account of their day if they have not been slumbering?... The millions are awake enough for physical labor; but only one in a million is awake enough for effective intellectual exertion, only one in a hundred million to a poetic or divine life. To be awake is to be alive. I have never yet met a man who was quite awake. How could I have looked him in the face?"
