“The longest day must have its close — the gloomiest night will wear on to a morning. An eternal, inexorable lapse of moments is ever hurrying the day of the evil to an eternal night, and the night of the just to an eternal day.”

From a fore-spent night of sorrow.”

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

Lois McMaster Bujold (1949) Science Fiction and fantasy author from the USA

"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."

If a thrush on a branch is not a sign,
But just a thrush on the branch? If night and day
Make no sense following each other?”

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.
