Great quote on idleness

 Idleness is not just a vacation,an indulgence or a vice;it is as indispensable to the brain as Vitamin D is to the body,and deprived of it we suffer a mental affliction as disfiguring as rickets.The space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life  and seeing it whole,for making unexpected connections and waiting for the wild summer lightning strikes of inspiration-it is,paradoxically,necessary to getting any work done.-Tim Kreider
