Repose is a good thing, but boredom is its brother

Summary

This quote suggests that while finding time for rest and relaxation (repose) is important, excessive idleness or monotony (boredom) can accompany it. It implies that too much repose can lead to a lack of stimulation and productivity, ultimately becoming dull and unfulfilling. Therefore, it emphasizes the need for a balance between rest and engaging activities in order to maintain a fulfilling and meaningful life.
