“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.”
“The early bird gets the worm but the late bird doesn't even get the late worm.”
“My train was late, slowed by the usual Sunday engineering work. I got home in the early evening. I remember that I had a bloody good long shit.”
“To be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late, to be late is to be forgotten.”
“early is on time, on time is late, and late is unacceptable!”
“Early in the morning, late in the century, Cricklewood Broadway.”
