A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between her work and her play; her labor and her leisure; her mind and her body; her education and her recreation. She hardly knows which is which. She simply pursues her vision of excellence through whatever she is doing, and leaves others to determine if she is working or playing. To herself, she always appears to be doing both.Anonymous
About This Quote
To get the best out of life, do what you love. The quote above is said by E. M. Forster, the novelist behind the iconic novel A Room with a View.
He goes on to talk about how you can make your work enjoyable and not feel like work in the process. He says in the quote, “To herself, she always appears to be doing both” because when she is working she feels like she is having fun, when she is doing her leisure time she feels like her work is part of her life. And because she loves what she does, that makes it something that has great meaning to her.
