All Poets Are Idlers, Even If All

As The Son Of A Feminist Mother, I Grew Up With The Idea That Work Was A Sort Of Salvation For Women As It Would Give Them Freedom From The Domestic Grind. Now It Seems Work Is A Form Of Slavery, Undertaken Out Of Apparent Compulsion Rather Than Choice.

All Poets Are Idlers, Even If All Idlers Are Not Poets.

Paradoxically, To Be Truly Idle, You Also Have To Be Efficient.

My Hope Is That Flexible Working And Varying Shift Patterns Will Give Workers A Taste For Idling And That They Will Gradually Demand Greater Reductions In The Length Of The Working Week.

Benjamin Franklin And The Whole Idea Of A New Attitude To Money: "time Is Money." He Invented That Idea. Before That, Time Wasn't Money In The Same Way; In The Medieval Age It Was Regarded As Sinful For Money To Be The Object Of Your Life.
