Zitat des Tages über Geschäftigkeit / Busyness:
When the fire of prayer goes out, the barrenness of busyness takes over.
If work and leisure are soon to be subordinated to this one utopian principle - absolute busyness - then utopia and melancholy will come to coincide: an age without conflict will dawn, perpetually busy - and without consciousness.
What emotions would we experience if we weren't working ourselves to death? What wishes drive us? What fantasies hitch themselves to our continual busyness? Only when we step away from our frenzy can we know.
That is sad until one recalls how many bad books the world may yet be spared because of the busyness of writers.
The nature of creativity is to make space for things to happen... We can drive it out with our busyness and plans.
