"A total lack of inspiration is a sign of laziness. There is simply too much available to deny anybody access. Laziness smothers inspiration and deprives its victims any sense of wonder by administering a self-defeating dose of itself. Lazy people should not garden because they end up demonstrating their nature publicly."
–– Thomas Hobbs, Canadian gardener and author
