Famous quotes containing the word activities:

    “The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure.... Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon.... The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.”
    —Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)

    “When mundane, lowly activities are at stake, too much insight is detrimental—far-sightedness errs in immediate concerns.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    “If it is to be done well, child-rearing requires, more than most activities of life, a good deal of decentering from one’s own needs and perspectives. Such decentering is relatively easy when a society is stable and when there is an extended, supportive structure that the parent can depend upon.”
    —David Elkind (20th century)
