I built the windmill 30 years ago in Tefen, and I think it was the right thing to build at that time, and I don’t think that we did much with the solar or with windmills. Not much was done. I think we were too busy. – Stef Wertheimer
It is, therefore, essential that we guard our own thinking and not be among those who cry out against prejudices applicable to themselves, while busy spawning intolerances for others. – Wendell Willkie

I got involved in lots of different areas round about 2007, 2008. Just working with lots of different people and stretching myself in different ways. I was working on art projects and working with other writers, just doing bits and pieces, trying to keep busy. – Stevie Jackson
The way games are designed is you create a story, and then you create an obstacle course inside that story, and the player has to endure it to see more. So it’s artificial.

When you have two busy kids running around the house, returning e-mails is a task, let alone surfing the web. – Tom Brady
Time can be dissected easily: an hour can be cut up in many ways. Fifteen minutes on this memo, a five-minute walk to another meeting, 30 minutes at that meeting and then 10 minutes debriefing. Oh, and maybe a quick phone call on the walk to that meeting. The busy are expert at dissection: that’s how they make it all fit. – Sendhil Mullainathan

I don’t think I am a workaholic. I prefer to keep busy. It is better than the alternative. – Sebastian Coe
The role of the intellectual, so it is said, is to speak truth to power. Noam Chomsky has dismissed this pious tag on two grounds. For one thing, power knows the truth already; it is just busy trying to conceal it. For another, it is not those in power who need the truth, but those they oppress. – Terry Eagleton
I am pretty chill before games. Have a go-to routine that keeps me busy until we are ready to take the court so I’m not just sitting around anxious for the game. – Stephen Curry
The grass is always greener on the other side. We are busy applying fairness creams while people in the West go bare-bodied on the beach to get a tan.
