I tried googling the topic, but all I am getting are quotes to inspire one not to be lazy. I am looking for quotes that encourage laziness. Rather than trying to search harder, I am coming to this community to do it for me!
So, what do have for quotes that encourage being lazy? Bonus points for including a source.
I suggest you read something by Tim Kreider who talks about the curse of “busyness”. The NY Times had a funny opinion piece by him.
The link is below if you can get past their firewall.
Here is the opening paragraph to see if you want to read further:
“Ten years ago, I wrote an essay called The Busy Trap about the curse of “busyness” that seemed endemic at the time. The treadmill had been imperceptibly increasing its speed for a while, and people were nervously starting to notice. As happens with a lot of unavoidable evils, they tried to rebrand their frantic busyness as a virtue. “Busy — so busy, crazy busy,” was the answer you got whenever you asked how they were. I came out, in my essay, as anti-busy; I advocated idling, daydreaming, hanging out and goofing off. My conclusion: “Life is too short to be busy.”
