“It is so easy to waste our lives: our days, our hours, our minutes. It is so easy to take for granted the pale new growth on an evergreen, the sheen of the limestone on Fifth Avenue, the colour of our kids’ eyes, the way the melody in a symphony rises and falls and disappears and rises again. It is so easy to exist instead of live.

“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
