Might be apocryphal, but I remember reading somewhere that Tolkien used to say when he got up in the morning (he liked to sleep late...)
"Good! Another day of pipe-smoking!"

I've seen that quote as well. If he didn't say it, he should have.  |

After a quick google search, I saw that he said pretty much that in an interview in 1966...
“Every morning I wake up and think good, another 24 hours’ pipe-smoking.”

And just when I had decided that all quotes of unknown origin were attributed to Mark Twain, Winston Churchill, or Yogi Berra.  |

I to have seen that quote. I love it. I don't always smoke in the morning but when I wake up one of the first things on my mind is when I do get the chance to smoke a pipe today, what tobacco will it be.

I routinely prep many of my smokes the night before... gives me something enjoyable to look forward to.

They've uttered or written the best lines that ever were on the planet. Indeed, and we might include Dorothy Parker and Oscar Wilde. They had some good ones too.  |

I'd smoke in my sleep if I could, though the way things are going, I'll be smoking when I'm dead, too.  |

Would it be less important if it was anecdotal instead of apocryphal?

I had an old neighbor...
“ I don’t buy green bananas”
Me: “ Why not?”
“ I may not be around to eat them”

I tell you, with my doctor, I don't get no respect. I told him, "I've swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills." He told me to have a few drinks and get some rest.
I went to see my doctor... Doctor Vidi-boom-ba. Yeah...I told him once, "Doctor, every morning when I get up and look in the mirror I feel like throwing up. What's wrong with me? He said, "I don't know, but your eyesight is perfect."
-Rodney Dangerfield

"A million surplus Maggies are willing to bear the yoke; And a woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke". (I remembered 'just' instead of 'only'. I remembered wrong). |
