Bagehot on Stillness and The Urge to Move On

Three quotes:

An inability to stay quiet is one of the conspicuous failings of mankind.

No great work has ever been produced except after a long interval of still and musing meditation.

All the best stories in the world are but one story in reality - the story of escape. It is the only thing which interests us all and at all times, how to escape.

- Walter Bagehot, British Businessman and Writer (1826-1877)
