One is not
idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor.
To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the
clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.
Victor Hugo
(1802–85), Novelist. Les Misérables, pt. 2, bk. 7, ch. 8 (1862).
