There's immense fun to be had as long as you can sort of sneak it past DC. I have been told on occasion that I need to have more respect for these characters.

There are only two occasions when Americans respect privacy especially in Presidents. Those are prayer and fishing.

Those among them that have not received our religion do not fright any from it and use none ill that goes over to it so that all the while I was there one man was only punished on this occasion.

I think you can be cynical about religion on occasion and certainly skeptical about the degree to which some people use religion to manipulate other people.

On several occasions I discussed with Bill Clinton the subject of inquiries by the media about our relationship. He told me to continue to deny our relationship that if we would stick together everything would be okay.

Then of course there are those sad occasions when a poet or a writer has not grown and one has to let them go because they're just not making headway. But we have a very clear personal relationship with the authors.

Although we were never pals and occasionally butted heads my relationship with Clinton and his wife Hillary made me a better journalist.

The sublimity of administration consists in knowing the proper degree of power that should be exerted on different occasions.

I know many writers who first dictate passages then polish what they have dictated. I speak then I polish - occasionally I do windows.

I don't look on poetry as closed works. I feel they're going on all the time in my head and I occasionally snip off a length.

Prose on certain occasions can bear a great deal of poetry on the other hand poetry sinks and swoons under a moderate weight of prose.

Occasionally I have come across a last patch of snow on top of a mountain in late May or June. There's something very powerful about finding snow in summer.

I watch movies occasionally and I watch documentaries. Virtually nothing else.

Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

I had no occasion for an apron on that morning.

It was morning through the high window I saw the pure bright blue of the sky as it hovered cheerfully over the long roofs of the neighboring houses. It too seemed full of joy as if it had special plans and had put on its finest clothes for the occasion.

Previously on Lock Stock I went to bed at two in the morning and woke up at five in the morning and on this one I was known to nod off on the set occasionally.

When you become a mom you just learn how to function sleep deprived and you do get used to it. I came back to work when Finley was three months old and the first few months were rough. Then somehow you learn to exist on no sleep and now when he does upon occasion sleep through the night which is like a full six hours you're pretty sure he's suffocating. So you don't sleep anyway.

I prefer to imagine that my wife a few friends and occasionally my mom are the only ones who read what I do though I realize that this is somewhat unrealistic.

My mother told me on several different occasions that she was livin' her dream vicariously through me. She once said that I was getting' to do all the things that she would have wanted to have done.

Labor disgraces no man unfortunately you occasionally find men who disgrace labor.

Men occasionally stumble over the truth but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.

On rare occasions one does hear of a miraculous case of a married couple falling in love after marriage but on close examination it will be found that it is a mere adjustment to the inevitable.

May we so love as never to have occasion to repent of our love!
