I think a lot of people settle with comfort. I've kinda pushed my whole life not to do that. There's nothing wrong with settling, it's definitely an easier life than the one I've chosen to live.
I was primarily interested in people, and people in action, so that I did nothing photographically in the sense of doing buildings for their own sake or a still life or anything like that.

The real drawback to the simple life is that it is not simple. If you are living it, you positively can do nothing else. There is not time.

A lot of people blame their negative feelings on their negative experiences; but little do they know that their negative feelings are nothing but the products of their negative interpretations of their negative experiences.
I have nothing against diamonds, or rubies or emeralds or sapphires. I do object when their acquisition is complicit in the debasement of children or the destruction of a country.
I find I have to give myself a day when I just shut myself off and do nothing but read.
The NRA grades senators and representatives based on their votes on gun issues - and even on issues that have little-to-nothing to do with guns.
Sundays tend to be a day where just I do nothing but visit people. It's kind of like trick-or-treating.

Getting older is fine. There is nothing you can do to stop it so you might as well stay on the bus.
Idleness is an inlet to disorder, and makes way for licentiousness. People who have nothing to do are quickly tired of their own company.
The tragedy for comedians is there's nothing more they want than to be liked. We desperately seek approval. It's almost like a personality disorder you can do as a job.
Today I have nothing to do except to enjoy the garden, drink the beauty of nature, and feel the joy of love and life.
I have the mentality that sometimes a role is just meant for someone else. If you're supposed to get a part, the light will shine on you. And if not, nothing you do is going to help.
