“If, then, I were asked for the most important advice I could give, that which I considered to be the most useful to the men of our century, I should simply say: in the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.”
― Leo Tolstoy, Essays, Letters and Miscellanies
(and I would add, “and just breathe a few breaths… notice your seat, your thoughts, this is the base for action, not your mechanistic thinking…”)
