Bed Quote by Daniel Day-Lewis

“When I've gone back to work, it's always with that sense of inevitability. That may be a complete delusion, but it's the one that I need to get out of bed and go about my business. That sense that I can't avoid this thing. I better just get on with it.” quote by Daniel Day-Lewis
