“Expanding your notion of fun beyond a two-week vacation in Maui increases the chances you'll have more of it.”

“The standard clauses of the American dream only included two weeks of vacation a year.”

“The only problem with politicians taking two week vacations every year is it’s about 50 weeks too short.
”

“It might have been that notion, or just chance, or its more flamboyant relative, destiny.”

“To the outside world, of course, this job is a cinch: 9 to 3, five days a week, two months' summer vacation with pay, all legal holidays, prestige and respect. My mother, for example, has the pleasant notion that my day consists of nodding graciously to the rustle of starched curtsies and a chorus of respectful voices bidding me good morning.”

“To live (as I understand it) is to exist within a conception of time.But to remember is to vacate the very notion of time.Every memory, no matter how remote its subject, takes place 'Now,' at the moment it's called to the mind.The more something is recalled, the more the brain has a chance to refine the original experience.Because every memory is a re-creation, not a playback.”
