The Fine Art of Loafing Magnet

The Art of Loafing ... cats know how to do it, they know how to simply be. "The tempo of modern industrial life forbids...idling. But worse than that, it imposes upon us a different conception of time as measured by the clock, and eventually turns the human being into a clock himself. Every American adult is arranging his time on the pattern of the schoolboy -- three o'clock for this, five o'clock for that, six-thirty for change of dress; six-fifty for entering the taxi and seven o'clock for emerging into a hotel room. It just makes life not worth living." -- Lin Yutang, "The Importance of Loafing" Original cat drawing courtesy of British Library Flickr Collection - No known copyright restrictions.
