from Ulysses by James Joyce:
His justifications?
As a physicist he had learned that of the 70 years of complete human life at least 2/ 7ths, viz., 20 years passed in sleep. As a philosopher he knew that at the termination of any allotted life only an infinitesimal part of any person’s desires has been realised. As a physiologist he believed in the artificial placation of malignant agencies chiefly operative during somnolence.
