"Big Bed"
it's so hard to get out of bed
with you there
PHEN WESTON
Under the Rose
Hear a song, or watch a stage,
Leave some words upon a page,
Claim a foe, or hail a friend--
Bed awaits me at the end.
DOROTHY PARKER
The Portable Dorothy Parker
He that makes his bed ill, lies there.
GEORGE HERBERT
Jacula Prudentum
Some dark Presence watching by my bed,
The awful image of a nameless dread
WILLIAM MARSHALL
The Far Away Man
Stretch the tired limbs and lay the head
Down on our own delightful bed.
JAMES MONTGOMERY
Night
The delight of night-time when, having had to get up to go shiveringly to the icy lavatory in the tower, into which the air creeps through the ill-fitting window, we later return deliciously to our room, feeling a smile of happiness distend our lips, finding it hard not to jump for sheer joy at the thought of the big bed already warm with our warmth, of the still burning fire, the hot-water bottle, the coverlets and blankets which have imparted their heat to the bed into which we are about to slip, walled in, embattled, hiding ourselves to the chin as against enemies thundering at the gates, who will not (and the thought brings gaiety) get the better of us, since they do not even know where we have so snugly gone to earth, laughing at the wind which is roaring outside, climbing up all the chimneys to every floor of the great house, conducting a search on each landing, trying all the locks.
MARCEL PROUST
Jean Santeuil
Many a man gets up on the wrong side of the bed because he doesn't get into it early enough.

20,000 Quips & Quotes
The bed comprehends our whole life, for we were born in it, we live in it, and we shall die in it.
GUY DE MAUPASSANT
The Bed
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.
STEFAN ZWEIG
The Burning Secret and Other Stories
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
Range of Motion
Lying in bed would be an altogether perfect experience if only one had a colored pencil long enough to draw on the ceiling.
G.K. CHESTERTON
attributed, 20,000 Quips & Quotes
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
"Bed Bed Bed"
We might not be able to stay in bed forever, but I'd settle for all day.
MATT ABRAMS
She's Toxic
The bed is now as public as the dinner table and governed by the same rules of formal confrontation.
ANGELA CARTER
"Speculative Finale", The Sadeian Woman
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.
HERMAN MELVILLE
Moby Dick
Bed's too big without you
Cold wind blows right through that open door
I can't sleep with your memory
Dreaming dreams of what used to be
THE POLICE
"The Bed's Too Big Without You"
In bed we laugh, in bed we cry;
And born in bed, in bed we die;
The near approach a bed may show
Of human bliss to human woe.
