Busy Quotes
In pushing other species to extinction, humanity is busy sawing off the limb on which it perches.
Paul R. Ehrlich
Theatres, actors, critics and public are interlocked in a machine that creaks but never stops. There is always a new season in hand and we are to busy to ask the only vital question which measures the whole structure. Why theatre at all? What for? Is it an anachronism, a superannuated oddity? Surviving like an old monument or a quaint custom? Why do we applaud and what? Has the stage a real place in our lives? What function can it have? What could it serve? What could it explore? What are its special properties?
Peter Brook

When you do things that are not meaningful to you, just to get the sense of completion, just to feel like you got something done, your spirit feels empty. So, the most important thing for people to realize is that you have to control the flow of information in your life.
Anthony Robbins
A happy life is just a string of happy moments. But most people don't allow the happy moment, because they're so busy trying to get a happy life.
Esther Hicks
The self-talk of the ego-mind is so busy describing what is happening, judging whether it is good or bad for us, and telling us what we should think and do, that there is little opportunity for our inner knowing to be heard. Instead we remain attached to our assumptions, dreaming of the fulfillment we believe they will bring.
Russell Peters

Derrick Bostrom
Meat Puppets
If the movie is quiet I generally feel the audience is busy. That's when they're working.
Ang Lee
A man who keeps a diary pays, Due toll to many tedious days; But life becomes eventfulthen, His busy hand forgets the pen. Most books, indeed, are records less Of fulness than of emptiness.
William Allingham
