Definitions and quotes

Leisure
Leisure has often been defined as a quality of experience or as free time. Free time is time spent away from business, work, job hunting, domestic chores, and education, as well as necessary activities such as eating and sleeping. From a research perspective, this approach has the advantages of being quantifiable and comparable over time and place.
Leisure
There is no wisdom without leisure.
Ancient Jewish Wisdom, cited by W. B. Yeats in an address given 3/28/1923.
Leisure
Knowledge is the product of leisure. The members of a very primitive society have no time to amass knowledge; their days are fully occupied with the provision of the bare necessities of life. But as soon as a community begins to accumulate wealth, and so becomes able to support a leisured class (priests, instructors of rich men's children), an opportunity is created for those who desire knowledge to devote their lives to its acquirement. Out of this 'curiosity to know' science is born.
Edward Bradford Titchener, An Outline of Psychology (1916), p. 1.
Leisure
The idea that the poor should have leisure has always been shocking to the rich.
Bertrand Russell, In Praise of Idleness (1932).
