"Paintings sleep, he said. Paintings have always slept, as long as he could remember he had always only met paintings that sleep, he said. The momentary, the epochal constitution of paintings was sleep, he said. …for this reason this sleepy mood, this tiring sleeping-room mood in the museums, this stillness of sleep in the rooms of the museums. A museum was simply a large place to sleep, a great, abysmal sleep encompassing centuries, he said."
