Even Superman has
to take his cape to the
cleaners

Quotes
I do nothing and then I do
something. But it’s taken years
of investigating idleness in all its
forms to be able to achieve this.
My discipline is borne out of
concerted study of idleness –
Will Self
You do not need to leave your
room. Remain sitting at your
table and listen. Do not even
listen, simply wait, be quiet,
still and solitary. The world will
freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice; it will
roll in ecstasy at your feet –
Franz Kafka
I was at a dinner party with
some medics yesterday, when the
conversation turned to stress in the
work place.
It transpires that the waiting rooms
of doctor’s surgeries are overflowing
with stressed out managers and
executives who complain of too
much work and too little time.
Whether you’re Superman or
Wonder Woman, there comes a time
when you have to take your cape to
the cleaners and slow down before
putting it back on.

To do nothing at all is the most
difficult thing in the world –
Oscar Wilde
An idle mind is a questioning,
skeptical mind. Hence it is a
mind not too bound up with
ephemeral things, as the minds
of workers are. The idler, then, is
somebody who separates himself
from his occupation: there are
many people scarcely conscious
of living except in the exercise of
some conventional occupation –
Robert Louis Stevenson
