Our minds must relax: they will rise better and keener after rest.

Unremitting effort leads to a kind of mental dullness and lethargy. — Seneca
(Television) rots the senses in the head!
It kills imagination dead!
It clogs and clutters up the mind!

His powers of thinking rust and freeze!
He cannot think -he only sees! — Roald Dahl

We cannot feel strongly toward the totally unlike because it is unimaginable, unrealizable; nor yet toward the wholly like because it is stale -- identity must always be dull company.
