Quote by Márai Sándor
English (Source)
There are two types of laziness: horizontal and vertical. There are people who are lazy only in the big horizons of their lives; in the plans; in that he postpones his determinations and decisions; he lazily builds his life's work, builds everything in time, in the great distance. Then there is the other, vertical laziness, when we remain lazy before the big moment, when we don't think, say or do what could be done at that moment. We don't reach out for something that we can get without much effort, and maybe later we can only get it with great sacrifice, we don't go to the phone, write that letter, or jot down that thought, right then, at that moment . This last kind of laziness is the most dangerous. Life depends on such missed, lazily neglected moments.
