"For sleep, riches and health to be truly enjoyed, they must be interrupted"

- Jean Paul

About this Quote

This quote by Jean Paul speaks with the idea that in order to really appreciate and delight in the important things we have in life, we need to require time away from them. Sleep, riches, and health are all things that can be considered given if we do not put in the time to appreciate them. By taking breaks from these things, we can get a higher gratitude for them. For example, taking a break from sleep can assist us to value the sensation of being well-rested. Taking a break from riches can assist us to appreciate the worth of money and the important things it can buy. Taking a break from health can help us to value the sensation of being healthy and the capability to do the things we delight in. By taking breaks from these things, we can get a higher appreciation for them and enjoy them more when we go back to them.
