Sir George Clausen, View of a lady in pink standing in a cornfield, 1881
I found this short quote amongst the notes by Nassim Nicholas Taleb:
“Anyone saying “I am busy” is signaling a certain degree of incompetence (and lack of control of his life). Unless, of course he is lying to get rid of you and enjoy doing nothing.”
