A good book should leave you slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it. - William Styron

As our technologies promote speed and capacity, the ability to do more in less time, they may promote a new form of idolatry. They push us to make productivity and efficiency ends in themselves, idols we worship and serve. We elevate efficiency -- the need to get many things done, and to get them done quickly -- to the realm of the ultimate. We willingly sacrifice quality, relationships, and our devotion to those we love in order to fill this twisted mandate.

True virtue is found not by getting a task finished quickly but by getting it done and doing it well.
