"I used to worry desperately about wasting time because I saw myself as basically lazy (which I am) and also saw my time wasting as proof of a second rate brain (which I also have.) Perhaps I also felt it was sinful because such a pleasure. I now think it is as necessary as solitude; that’s how the compost heap grows in the mind. Anyway I intend to spend the rest of my life wasting time."
- Martha Gellhorn, from Selected Letters
