"Thousands of devoted men and women today believe that the really good part is to keep busy, and they give themselves no time to take what is offered to those who abide quietly with Christ because there seems such a lot of urgent jobs for Martha to do. The result of this can only be a maiming of their human nature, exhaustion, loss of depth and of vision, and it is seen in the vagueness and ineffectuality of a great deal of the work that is done for God." --Evelyn Underhill,
The Essentials of Mysticism
