Life Is About Recapturing Lost Freedoms.

Writing A Book Is A Brilliant Thing Because Once You've Finished It, You've Done It, And There's The Potential For It To Go On Earning You A Living Without You Doing Any More Work On It. It's Absolutely Ideal For An Idler.

Doing Something You Enjoy At Times Of Your Own Choosing And Making A Living From It: Now Tell Me, Is That Work?

Beauty, Pleasure, Freedom And Plenty Of Sleep: These Are The Hallmarks Of A Successful Idler's Break. Travel Should Not Be Hard Work.

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.

I've Found That There Isn't Any Correlation Whatsoever Between The Hours Put In And The Quality Of What Comes Out. Most Of The Beatles' Songs Probably Originated In About Five Minutes.
