"The master in the
art of living makes
little distinction
between his work and
his play, his labor
and his leisure, his
mind and his body,
his information and
his recreation, his
love and his
religion. He
hardly knows which
is which. He
simply pursues his
vision of excellence
at whatever he does,
leaving others to
decide whether he is
working or playing.
To him he is always
doing both."
-- James A. Michener |
