Our dreams take us into other worlds, alternative realities that help us make sense of day-to-day realities.

I count it as a certainty that in paradise, everyone naps.

I've found that there isn't any correlation whatsoever between the hours put in and the quality of what comes out. Most of the Beatles' songs probably originated in about five minutes.

When the going gets tough, the tough take a nap.

A conclusion I’ve come to at the Idler is that it starts with retreating from work but it’s really about making work into something that isn’t drudgery and slavery, and then work and life can become one thing.

All poets are idlers, even if all idlers are not poets.

The art of living is the art of bringing dreams and reality together.
