Quote: Idleness

[cloudscudding]

We owe most of our great inventions and most of the achievements
of genius to idleness - either enforced or voluntary. The human
mind prefers to be spoon-fed with the thoughts of others, but
deprived of such nourishment it will, reluctantly, begin to
think for itself - and such thinking, remember, is original
thinking and may have valuable results.

~ Agatha Christie
