Coffee Quote by Don DeLillo

““Did you see what you just did? You took the coffee can with you to the counter." "So what?" "You didn't have to. You could have left it by the stove where you were standing and then gone to the counter to get the spoon." "You're saying I carried the coffee can unnecessarily." "You carried it in your ri ght hand all the way to the counter, put it down to open the drawer, which you didn't want to do with your left hand, then got the spoon with your right hand, switched it to your left hand, picked up the coffee can with your right hand and went back to the stove, where you put it down again." "That's what people do." "It's wasted motion. People waste tremendous amounts of motion. You ought to watch Baba make a salad sometime." "People don't deliberate over each tiny motion and gesture. A little waste doe sn't hurt." "But over a lifetime?" "What do you save if you don't waste?" "Over a lifetime? You save tremendous amounts of time and energy," he said. "What will you do with them?" "Use them to live longer.””
