Idle Stop

Famous quotes containing the words idle and/or stop:

    As peace is the end of war, so to be idle is the ultimate purpose of the busy.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    Let us stop being afraid. Of our own thoughts, our own minds. Of madness, our own or others’. Stop being afraid of the mind itself, its astonishing functions and fandangos, its complications and simplifications, the wonderful operation of its machinery—more wonderful because it is not machinery at all or predictable.
    Kate Millett (b. 1934)
