A fascinating and creative interest apart from your work is an absolute essential for happy living.

I want to make a jigsaw puzzle that's 40,000 pieces. And when you finish it, it says, 'Go outside.'

I don't think anyone who has ever counted drinking amongst their hobbies has never kissed a man.

Everyone should have a deep-seated interest or hobby to enrich his mind, add zest to living, and perhaps, depending upon what it is, result in a service to his country.

The finest amusements are the most pointless ones.

Some people collect paperweights, or pre-Columbian figures, or old masters, or young mistresses, or tombstone rubbings, or five-minute recipes, or any of a thousand other things ... My own collection is sunrises; and I find that they have their advantages. Sunrises are usually handsome, they can't possibly be dusted, and they take only a little room, so long as it has a window to see them from.

Amusement is the happiness of those who cannot think.

Life would be tolerable but for its amusements.

No man is really happy or safe without a hobby ...

Beware the hobby that eats.
