I think its good that I had some experience of the real world before I became successful. You know, having to get up in the morning and going to work in construction. – Tom Jones
Stuart was an early riser: he was almost always the first person up in the morning. He liked the feeling of being the first one stirring; he enjoyed the quiet rooms with the books standing still on the shelves, the pale light coming in through the windows, and the fresh smell of day. – E.B. White, Stuart Little, 1945
