Although I played a lot of computer games in my 20s, now I have children of my own I hate them with a passion.

When walking you see things that you miss in a motor car or on the train. You give your mind space to ponder.

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

All of our technology is completely unnecessary to a happy life.

Laziness works. And the simple way to incorporate its health benefits into your life is simply to take a nap.

Surely, anyway, a working day of eight or nine hours which is not split by a nap is simply too much for a human being to take, day in, day out, and particularly so in hot weather.

Labour-saving devices just make us try to cram more pointless activities into each day, rather than doing the important thing, which is to enjoy our life.
