It is the steady and merciless increase of occupations, the augmented speed at which we are always trying to live, the crowding of each day with more work and amusement than it can profitably hold, which has cost us, among other good things, the undisturbed enjoyment of friends.Friendship takes time, and we have no time to give it.

(Agnes Repplier, 1855 - 1950)
