The real Bible is a sealed book, an apocryphon, a book not to be opened (mentally) until its time has come. (2:568)
Northrop Frye
Let us praise what is truly praiseworthy, the glory of human nature; let us give thanks that it was granted also to us to be human beings; […]does not even a mentally handicapped person frequently demonstrate how strong a human being is, and yet we do not praise the mentally handicapped, even though he puts many to shame.
Soren Aabye Kierkegaard
That indolent but agreeable condition of doing nothing.
Pliny the Younger
In indolent vacuity of thought.
William Cowper
As writers become more numerous, it is natural for readers to become more indolent.
Oliver Goldsmith
