“It is painful to recall a past intensity, to estimate your distance from the Belsen heap, to make your peace with numbers. Just to get up each morning is to make a kind of peace.” KindPastPeaceNumbersMorningDistancePainfulGet UpIntensityRecalls Author:Leonard Cohen
“When, as a child, I first opened my eyes on a Sunday-morning, a feeling of dismal anicipation, which began at least on the Friday,culminated. I knew what was before me, and my wish, if not my word, was "Would God it were evening!" It was no day of rest, but a day of texts, of catechisms (Watts'), of tracts about converted swearers, godly charwomen, and edifying deaths of sinners saved.... There was but one rosy spot, in the distance, all that day: and that was "bed-time," which never could come too early!” IfsFirstsChildrenFeelingsEyeReligionWishChurchMorningBedDistanceSavedSpotsEveningSinnerSundayGodlyFridayMy WishRosySunday MorningCatechismDay Of RestBed Time Author:Lewis Carroll
“The mystery of the evening-star brilliant in silence and distance between the downward-surging plunge of the sun and the vast, hollow seething of inpouring night.

“If I'm writing a novel, I'll probably get up in the morning, do email, perhaps blog, deal with emergencies, and then be off novel-writing around 1.00pm and stop around 6.00pm. And I'll be writing in longhand, a safe distance from my computer. If I'm not writing a novel, there is no schedule, and scripts and introductions and whatnot can find themselves being written at any time and on anything.” IfsWritingDealsMorningNovelWrittenSafeComputerDistanceScriptsGet UpSchedulesEmailEmergenciesIntroductionBlogsNovel Writing Author:Neil Gaiman
“I came in on this movie after there had been a director and I came in after Tom Courtenay had talked to Ron Harwood about making a movie. So, you know Tom and Albert Finney had been friends since the beginning of their career as they became stars around the same time - Tom always reminds me that Albert was first with Saturday Night and Sunday Morning and then Tom with The Long Distance Runner.” KnowsFirstsLongNightStarsCareersMorningDirectorsDistanceSundayTomsRunnersSaturdaySaturday NightLong DistanceSunday MorningDistance Runner Author:Dustin Hoffman
“I may have been 15 or 16 years old when, on a Sunday morning, I was sitting at home together with my mother and sister, and the floor began to move under us. The hanging lamp swayed. It was very strange. My father came into the room. "It was an earthquake," he said. The center had evidently been at a considerable distance, for the movements felt slow and not shaky. In spite of a great deal of effort, an accurate epicenter was never found. This was my only experience with an earthquake until I became a seismologist 20 years later.” YearsMayHas BeensSaidHomeTogetherMovingMotherFoundFatherFeltRoomsDealsEffortMorningMovementStrangeSittingDistanceSpiteSundayAccurateLampsEarthquakesSunday Morning Author:Inge Lehmann
