“Who will free me from hurry, flurry, the feeling of a crowd pushing behind me, of being hustled and crushed? How can I regain even for a minute the feeling of ample leisure I had during my early, my creative years? Then I seldom felt fussed, or hurried. There was time for work, for play, for love, the confidence that if a task was not done at the appointed time, I easily could fit it into another hour. I used to take leisure for granted, as I did time itself.” IfsYearsDonePlayFeelingsUsedFeltHoursBehindsCreativeMinutesFitTasksCrowdsGrantedPushingLeisureCrushed Book:Sunset and Twilight: From the Diaries of 1947-1958 Source: Sunset and Twilight: From the Diaries of 1947-1958
