"You will soon find that I am a bit obsessive about my work. And that is a little sad, one often feels strangely restricted, not finding time to simmer, although one actually has many interests"

This quote by Arne Jacobsen speaks with the concept of being so focused on one's work that it can become a bit compulsive. It can be a bit sad, as it can result in a feeling of limitation, not having sufficient time to check out other interests. Jacobsen is suggesting that although one might have many interests, they may not have the time to explore them due to their concentrate on their work. This can be a hard balance to keep, as it is necessary to be passionate about one's work, however also to make time for other interests. It is necessary to find a balance between work and leisure, and to ensure that one is not too concentrated on one thing to the hinderance of other interests.
