Leisure Quotes

In today's mad world, leisure time seems to be a luxury available only to a few. But have we ever considered that it's not just a nicety, but an absolute necessity?

It's the space where our souls breathe, our minds rejuvenate, and our bodies find rest. Without it, we're just machines draining their energy, devoid of creativity, devoid of true joy.
