Quotation: There is also ample psychological research suggesting that what we might call “doing nothing” is when human beings actually do their best thinking, and when creativity comesto call.
The reason why I chose this quotation is because even though it is short and is a fact, the idea that it is trying to convey is obvious and fits with the topic of the story. It showed that “doing nothing” isn’t really not doing anything. Instead, it is when people can think and be creative. It matches the whole thesis of this piece of short essay, which was trying to persuade people that it’s not a bad thing to be doing nothing. Instead, it’s beneficial.
Bringing in scientific researches helps enforce the author's argument, and in this case, Anna Quindlen is using this as a supporting evidence. Although not specific, it gives a clear direction to her perspective.
