“Which is just a fancy way of saying, "I think about it a lot, day and night."”

—  Lois McMaster Bujold

"Publishing, Writing, and Authoring", p. 67
The Vorkosigan Companion (2008)
Context: I attack both from the logic-side, scribbling outline after outline, and the long-walk relaxed-visualization-side, and while neither alone is enough, the combination synergizes. Which is just a fancy way of saying, "I think about it a lot, day and night."

I want it morning, noon and night of every day;
And if by chance i cannot have it I can't say
But with it I know heaven's just a kiss away.”

“I used to think, if I could realise I'd die
Then I would be a lot nicer
Used to believe in a lot more
Now I just see straight ahead
That's not to say I don't have good times
But as for my days, I spend them waiting…”

Jenny Lewis (1976) American actor, singer-songwriter

but never knew it;
by night slept with You
without realising;
fancying myself
to be myself;
but no, I was You
and never knew it.”

About the things that I forgot to do

And all the times I had the chance to.”

“Nobody really cared about the countless criminal addictions that preyed on me day and night — just as long as I was not in denial.”

Hunter S. Thompson (1937–2005) American journalist and author

Better than Sex (22 August 1994)
1990s
Context: No candidate will risk being linked with a "suspected" addict — but a registered, admitted addict is a whole different thing. As long as I'd confessed, I was okay. Nobody really cared about the countless criminal addictions that preyed on me day and night — just as long as I was not in denial. That was the key. As long as they knew that I knew I was sick and guilty, I was safe.
