Quotes
"The bed is a bundle of paradoxes: we go to it with reluctance, yet we quit it with regret; we make up our minds every night to leave it early, but we make up our bodies every morning to keep it late." - Charles Caleb Colton
"I have always believed that the way you make your bed affects the quality of your sleep. And this belief has been proven right by science. A good night's sleep is directly linked to the neatness and tidiness of your bed." - Benjamin Franklin
"The sheets were clean and smelled like sunshine. Better yet, they were the kind of sheets that had a high thread count and a softness that begged you to crawl in and never leave." - Nicholas Sparks
