• Well I work up Sunday morning,
  With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt,
  And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad,
  So I had one more for dessert.
  Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes,
  And found my cleanest dirty shirt.
  An' I shaved my face and combed my hair,
  An' stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.

  Kris Kristofferson

• Life, within doors, has few pleasanter prospects than a neatly-arranged and well-provisioned breakfast-table. We come to it freshly, in the dewy youth of the day, and when our spiritual and sensual elements are in better accord than at a later period; so that the material delights of the morning meal are capable of being fully enjoyed, without any very grievous reproaches, whether gastric or conscientious, for yielding even a trifle overmuch to the animal department of our nature.

• These nights are endless, and a man can sleep through them, or he can enjoy listening to stories, and you have no need to go to bed before it is time. Too much sleep is only a bore. And of the others, any one whose heart and spirit urge him can go outside and sleep, and then, when the dawn shows, breakfast first, then go out to tend the swine of our master. But we two, sitting here in the shelter, eating and drinking, shall entertain each other remembering and retelling our sad sorrows. For afterwards a man who has suffered much and wandered much has pleasure out of his sorrows.

  Homer
