“When someone insults me, I simply shut down. Then I open back up at 9 am the next morning.”

“See enough and write it down, I tell myself, and then some morning when the world seems drained of wonder, some day when I am only going through the motions of doing what I am supposed to do... on that bankrupt morning I will simply open my notebook and there it will all be, a forgotten account with accumulated interest, paid passage back to the world out there...”

“I only write when I am inspired. Fortunately I am inspired at 9 o'clock every morning.”

“Each night, when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn.”

“I have noticed that the Christianity of a certain class of respectable people begins when they open their prayer-books at eleven o'clock on Sunday morning, and ends when they shut them up again at one o'clock on Sunday afternoon. Nothing so astonishes and insults Christians of this sort as reminding them of their Christianity on a week-day.”

“I am disappointed every morning that I wake up. And I am disappointed by the feeling Of waking up next to you.”
