I can't remember the exact line, thus my random googling isn't proving to work out well

"sleep? I need not those momentary slices of death".

I think it might of been da vinci, but I am not sure :/

Sleep, those little slices of death; Oh how I loathe them

edgar allan poe.

Sounds like something Gilly might say... Does he ever sleep

 

[Greenlizard0]

For some reason the only thing I can think of is that bad bloke James Bond, Golden Eye

 

[Freefaller]

Hehe - nah he sleeps believe it or not, especially if he's had a few


Though it is the sort of thing that he'd say but then again he reads a stack load of books/literature.

Ooo er

Being a massive Poe fan myself, I'd have to say it was the great man himself who came out with that quote. It just sounds like something he'd say, then again it might even have been Bram Stoker or even Arthur Conan Doyle.
