Being the family's literate one, my wife doesn't watch television much, preferring third-world novels, though she'll sit in now and then when I have on Jon Stewart.

Everyone likes a burger now and then, and that's absolutely fine.

Part of the process of reading is constantly hitting the pause button, and now and then the rewind button, to ponder a word that's been chosen by the author as exquisitely as the filmmaker chooses an image or a sound editor chooses a sonic clue - the tolling of a bell in the distance to evoke memory, for instance.

A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.

I like to dress up every now and then.

I like to give my inhibitions a bath now and then.
