La plume empoisonnée

Alisa 

'It is a theory of mine', I said, warming to my theme, 'that we owe most of our great inventions and most of the achievements of genius to idleness – either enforced or voluntary. The human mind prefers to be spoon-fed with the thoughts of others, but deprived of such nourishment it will, reluctantly, begin to think for itself – and such thinking, remember, is iriginal thinking and may have valuable results. Besides' I went in, before Aimèe could get in another sniff, 'there is the artistic side.'
