When the fire of prayer goes out, the barrenness of busyness takes over.

Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings.

I'm busy, man, too busy. There's a lamentable absence of free time.

I love not to be busy in a certain way.

Life is wasted on the living.

You can really only enjoy life when you're extremely busy.

Millions long for immortality who don't know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

All travellers who had preceded me into the Barren Grounds had relied on the abundant game, and in consequence suffered dreadful hardships; in some cases even starved to death.

A life without a lonely place, that is, without a quiet center, becomes destructive.
