“Go early. Stay late. Be MEMORABLE.”

“Children remember staying up late. Grownups think about getting up early”

“Writers may be disreputable, incorrigible, early to decay or late to bloom but they dare to go it alone”

“I used to smoke marijuana. But I’ll tell you something: I would only smoke it in the late evening. Oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening – or the mid-evening. Just the early evening, midevening and late evening. Occasionally, early afternoon, early midafternoon, or perhaps the late-midafternoon. Oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning. . . . But never at dusk.”

“And so I rehabilitate myself - staying up late this Friday night in spite of vowing to go to bed early, because it is more important to capture moments like this, keen shifts in mood, sudden veering of direction - than to lose it in slumber.”

“To be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late, to be late is to be forgotten.”
