Sleep, that deplorable curtailment of the joy of life Picture Quote #1

Most of the books I read these days are children’s books at bedtime Picture Quote #1

Love, I’ve come to understand is more than three words mumbled before bedtime Picture Quote #1

To business that we love we rise bedtime, and go to't with delight Picture Quote #1

This one time I stayed up way past my bedtime... man that was scary Picture Quote #1

On a perfect day in your perfect little world (and it’s always perfect) there is breakfast time, playtime, lunchtime, nap time, snack time, dinnertime, bath time, story time, and bedtime. There is time for everything when you are the timekeeper Picture Quote #1

I do see a lot of my kids, but sometimes I feel as though we have snatched moments. I turn up half way through something, or I only see her at bedtime. I’d like there to be more Picture Quote #1

Mom’s smiles were the most beautiful thing in the world, and they almost always made things better. They almost even made an early bedtime okay, but not quite Picture Quote #1

Ironically, to my children, bedtime is a punishment that violates their basic rights as human beings Picture Quote #1

My dad would tell me bedtime stories, and he used to always leave them open-ended and finish at a crucial point with the words, ‘dream on’. Then it was my responsibility to finish the story as I was drifting off to sleep. We would call them dreaming stories Picture Quote #1

I looked at the clock with the faint unconscious hope common to all mothers that time will somehow have passed magically away and the next time you look it will be bedtime Picture Quote #1

I’d love to do some bedtime stories for kids or that kind of thing. But with the demands of the shooting schedule and balancing the demands of being a single mother, it’s a wonder you can squeeze in anything Picture Quote #1

There’s not a lot I can fix for her anymore. Band-Aid and bedtime story days are almost over. This, I can fix with a simple Welcome Picture Quote #1

Come now, what masques, what dances shall we have To wear away this long age of three hours Between our after-supper and bedtime? Picture Quote #1

As a parent with young children, I would always find little things that bothered me when I was reading bedtime stories or watching shows or listening to children’s music. I couldn’t find any stories, games or television shows that were fun and exciting while also being morally instructive and patriotic Picture Quote #1

Holidays are also an opportunity for kids to unlearn every good habit they’ve learned during the rest of the year. They don’t go to school. They get to stay up past their bedtime. They get candy and presents for doing nothing. Childhood utopia Picture Quote #1

For bedtime reading, I usually curl up with a good monograph on quantum physics or string theory, my specialty. But since I was a child, I have been fascinated by science fiction. My all-time favorite is ‘The Foundation Trilogy,’ by Isaac Asimov Picture Quote #1

I don’t know how other people perceive the lives of actors, but my life is fairly ordinary. I go to work, I come home, I put my kids to bed. If I’m home in time for dinner, I have dinner, and then it’s bedtime Picture Quote #1

Aunt Syl must have conveniently stopped reading the childhood fairy tales when the knight left the damsel in distress to pursue a better damsel out of my bedtime routine Picture Quote #1

Men have the influence and power in business and politics. It is the mother who can make the child’s bedtime earlier, take away desserts or ground the child Picture Quote #1

I told my three sons stories about germs more than fifty years ago as fanciful bedtime tales Picture Quote #1

The great thing about small children is they’re portable, so we take them everywhere, but when it comes to 2015, Zachary’s going to school, and I want to be there to drop him off and pick him up. I don’t want to just be the father who reads them a bedtime story Picture Quote #1

Children, I mean, think of your own childhood, how important the bedtime story was. How important these imaginary experiences were for you. They helped shape reality, and I think human beings wouldn’t be human without narrative fiction Picture Quote #1

The spark for ‘In Praise of Slowness’ came when I began reading to my children. Every parent knows that kids like their bedtime stories read at a gentle, meandering pace. But I used to be too fast to slow down with the Brothers Grimm. I would zoom through the classic fairy tales, skipping lines, paragraphs, whole pages Picture Quote #1

I don’t remember my father reading to me, but I remember him telling me bedtime stories. I got to pick what was in them, and then he’d make them up Picture Quote #1

I had always been proud of my mom. So she’d never back cookies, or sew a Halloween costume, but she could fight monsters. She was tough and smart, and maybe she didn’t read bedtime stories, but she had taught me to defend myself against the things that lurked under beds Picture Quote #1

Some boy nuh know dis, dem only come around like tourist. On the beach with a few club sodas. Bedtime stories, and pose like dem name Chuck Norris and don’t know the real hardcore Picture Quote #1

My mother wrote poetry when I was young - I have an early memory of the sound of her typewriter - and my father told me inventive bedtime stories Picture Quote #1

It always puzzled him, when he was a child, that a woman who wrote books for a living should be so bad at telling bedtime stories Picture Quote #1
