An Apology for Idlers: Idleness so called has as good a right to state its position as industry itself

By Robert Louis Stevenson

«Just now, when everyone is bound, under pain of a decree in absence convicting them of lèse respectability, to enter on some lucrative profession, and labour therein with something not far short of enthusiasm, a cry from the opposite party who are content when they have enough, and like to look on and enjoy in the meanwhile, savours a little of bravado and gasconade. And yet this should not be. Idleness so called, which does not consist in doing nothing, but in doing a great deal not recognized in the dogmatic formularies of the ruling class, has as good a right to state its position as industry itself.»
