Laziness Quotes (page 3)

The days hardened with cold and boredom like last year's loaves of bread. One began to cut them with blunt knives without appetite, with a lazy indifference. Bruno Schulz
He tried to read an elementary economics text; it bored him past endurance, it was like listening to somebody interminably recounting a long and stupid dream. He could not force himself to understand how banks functioned and so forth, because all the operations of capitalism were as meaningless to him as the rites of a primitive religion, as barbaric, as elaborate, and as unnecessary. In a human sacrifice to deity there might be at least a mistaken and terrible beauty; in the rites of the... Ursula K. Le Guin
Bob Hope quote: "People who blow kisses are hoplessly lazy."
People who blow kisses are hoplessly lazy. Bob Hope
We need to be virtually bludgeoned into detachment from our daily lives, our habits and mental laziness, which conceal from us the strangeness of the world. Without a fresh virginity of mind, without a new and healthy awareness of existential reality, there can be no theatre and no art either; the real must be in a way dislocated, before it can be re-integrated. Eugene Ionesco
Everybody seems to think I'm lazy. I don't mind, I think they're crazy. Running everywhere at such a speed. Till they find there's no need. John Lennon
Bob Hope quote: "people who throw kisses are helplessly lazy"
people who throw kisses are helplessly lazy Bob Hope
Robert A. Heinlein quote: "Faith strikes me as intellectual laziness."
Faith strikes me as intellectual laziness. Robert A. Heinlein
Reading is at the threshold of the spiritual life; it can introduce us to it. It does not constitute it ... There are certain cases of spiritual depression in which reading can become a sort of curative discipline ... reintroducing a lazy mind into the life of the Spirit. Marcel Proust
The whole gospel of Karl Marx can be summed up in a single sentence: Hate the man who is better off than you are. Never under any circumstances admit that his success may be due to his own efforts, to the productive contribution he has made to the whole community. Always attribute his success to the exploitation, the cheating, the more or less open robbery of others. Never under any circumstances admit that your own failure may be owing to your own weakness, or that the failure of anyone else... Henry Hazlitt
Who is there today who still cares about a well-finished death? No one. Even the rich, who could after all afford this luxury, are beginning to grow lazy and indifferent; the desire to have a death of one's own is becoming more and more rare. In a short time it will be as rare as a life of one's own. Rainer Maria Rilke
Julia Cameron quote: "Procrastination is not Laziness", I tell him. "It is fear...."
Procrastination is not Laziness", I tell him. "It is fear. Call it by its right name, and forgive yourself. Julia Cameron
If he lies pressed against me, he gently twines his legs about mine and our legs are merged by the very soft cloth of our pajamas; he then takes great pains to find the right spot to cuddle his cheek. So long as he is not sleeping, I feel the quivering of his eyelids and upturned lashes against the very sensitive skin of my neck. If he feels a tickling in his nostrils, his laziness and drowsiness keep him from lifting his hand, so that in order to scratch himself he rubs his nose against my... Jean Genet
Chuck Klosterman quote: "his lazy eye drifting around the room like a child looking for..."
...his lazy eye drifting around the room like a child looking for the bathroom. Chuck Klosterman
Everyone thinks I'm showing off when I talk, ridiculous when I'm silent, insolent when I answer, cunning when I have a good idea, lazy when I'm tired, selfish when I eat one bite more than I should. Anne Frank
As for discipline—it's important, but sort of overrated. The more important virtue for a writer, I believe, is self-forgiveness. Because your writing will always disappoint you. Your laziness will always disappoint you. Elizabeth Gilbert
