“I have a vague memory of this one conversation we had in that room about a passage that Elvis had underlined. I started to call someone to help me remember it, but realized that there's no one left to call”
― Riley Keough, From Here to the Great Unknown

Katherine May
“Doing those deeply unfashionable things—slowing down, letting your spare time expand, getting enough sleep, resting—is a radical act now, but it is essential. This is a crossroads we all know, a moment when you need to shed a skin. If you do, you’ll expose all those painful nerve endings and feel so raw that you’ll need to take care of yourself for a while. If you don’t, then that skin will harden around you.”
― Katherine May, Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times

Devon  Price
“Wasting time" is a basic human need.”
― Devon Price, Laziness Does Not Exist

“You are not required to contribute to be worthy of love and care and belonging. We know this is true because you could be connected to a ventilator unable to contribute anything (and in fact be using lots of resources) and still be a worthy human being. We all have seasons of life when we are capable of contributing more or less than the people around us.”
― K.C. Davis, How to Keep House While Drowning

“Susan Sontag said somewhere something like any technology that slows us down in our writing rather than speeding us up is the one we ought to use.”
― Ross Gay, The Book of Delights: Essays
