Laziness. Unwarranted repose of manner in a person of low degree.
We seldom call anybody lazy, but such as we reckon inferior to us, and of whom we expect some service.
A friend is, as it were, a second self.
One should never criticize his own work except in a fresh and hopeful mood. The self-criticism of a tired mind is suicide.
A writer is unfair to himself when he is unable to be hard on himself.

Being lazy does not mean that you do not create. In fact, lying around doing nothing is an important, nay crucial, part of the creative process. It is meaningless bustle that actually gets in the way of productivity. All we are really saying is, give peace a chance.
