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)
