Famous quotes containing the words mental and/or content:
“Total physical and mental inertia are highly agreeable, much more so than we allow ourselves to imagine. A beach not only permits such inertia but enforces it, thus neatly eliminating all problems of guilt. It is now the only place in our overly active world that does.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“The real leader has no need to lead—he is content to point the way.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
