What is this life, if, full of care
We have no time to stand and stare?
~W. H. Davies
如果生活裡只有煩惱
沒有駐足發呆的時間與空間
那還叫生活嗎?

This wasted time I have found by constant experience
to be as indispensable as sleep.
~John Adams
浪費時間是必要的
跟睡眠一樣

You must learn to be still in the midst of activity
and to be vibrantly alive in repose.
~Indira Gandhi
在喧鬧中要找到平靜
在休息時要充滿生命力

It is in one's pleasure that a person really lives;
it is from one's leisure that one constructs the true fabric of self.
~Agnes Repplier
要做讓自己快樂的事才是真正的活著
在休閒中才能建立真正的自我

What am I doing?
Nothing.
I am letting life rain upon me.
~Rachel Varnhagen
我在做什麼?
無所事事
讓生命像雨一樣淋在我身上

So let's make a toast to the long art
of lingering.
~Lee Upton
讓我們為留連的藝術
舉杯
