"I don't know why it is we are in such a hurry to get up when we fall down. You might think we would lie there and rest for a while"
- Max Eastman
About this Quote
In this quote, Max Eastman is assessing the human propensity to rapidly get back up after falling down. He questions why we are constantly in such a rush to return on our feet, when it would appear more sensible to take a moment to rest and recover. Perhaps, he suggests, we are conditioned to believe that we need to always be progressing and achieving, even when faced with obstacles. Eastman's words work as a suggestion to slow down and permit ourselves time to heal and charge, rather than continuously pressing ourselves to keep going.

"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time"
