On Time

"Try to think about time not as a finite resource that is always draining away, or as a bully to be feared or conquered, but as the benign element we live in."

from In Praise of Slowness by Carl Honore'


"The whole struggle of life is to some extent a struggle about how slowly or how quickly to do each thing."

from The Discovery of Slowness by Sten Nadolny


"Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it."

Soren Kierkegaardd

"Rescuing the next generation from the cult of speed means reinventing our whole philosophy of childhood...More freedom and fluidity in education, more emphasis on learning as a pleasure, more room for unstructured play, less obsession with making every second count, less pressure to mimic adult mores."

from In Praise of Slowness by Carl Honore'
