Awake Quote by Anna Ziegler
““CASPAR: I mean…what do you want, Rosalind? ROSALIND: So many things: to wake up without feeling the weight of the day pressing down, to fall asleep more easily, without wondering what it is that’s keeping me awake, to eat more greens and also beetroot, to be kissed, to feel important, to learn how to be okay being with other people, and also how to be alone. To be a child again, held up and admired, the world full of endless future. To see my father look at me with uncomplicated pride. To be kissed.””
