Tempo Giusto

 

"Tempo Guisto" - "in exact time"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempo_giusto


"The whole struggle of life is to some extent a struggle about how slowly or how quickly to do each thing"

- Sten Nadolny, Author of The Discovery of Slowness (1996)


" ... a middle path, a recipe for marrying la dolce vita with the dynamism of the information age. The secret is balance: ..... do everything at the right speed. Sometimes fast. Sometimes slow. Sometimes somewhere in between." 

- Carl Honore, In Praise of Slowness (2004)

"What is life for? .... work ...... fun, ennobling .... enjoy .... intellectual challenge, .. physical exertion ... socializing ... status ....  but to let work take over our lives is folly. There are too many important things that need time ... friends, family, hobbies ... rest"

- Carl Honore, In Praise of Slowness (2004)


"It is in his pleasure that a man really lives" and "It is from his leisure that he constructs the true fabric of self"

- Agnes Repplier


Highest form of leisure is to be still and receptive to the world ... 

- Plato (attributed in In Praise of Slowness by Carl Honore)
