Talent is ruined by writing too much, and rusted by not writing at all.<br> <br>[L’oisiveté est nécessaire aux esprits, aussi bien que le travail. On se ruine l’esprit à trop écrire; on se rouille à n’écrire pas.]<br>»</p><p>Full quote, sourcing, notes: <br><a href="https://wist.info/joubert-joseph/71113/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">wist.info/joubert-joseph/71113</span><span class="invisible">/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotes</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/ability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ability</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/atrophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>atrophy</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/burnout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>burnout</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/creativity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>creativity</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/idleness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>idleness</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/mind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mind</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/overwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>overwork</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/relaxation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>relaxation</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/rest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rest</span></a></p>
