quotations about leisure
Since leisure is "purchased" by not working (and therefore giving up income,) theory implies that it may be the case that as income increases some will choose to purchase more leisure and to work less, causing the supply curve to first slope up and then to turn backwards.

Leisure, the highest happiness on earth, is seldom enjoyed with perfect satisfaction, except in solitude.
ZIMMERMAN
attributed, Day's Collacon
The enjoyment of leisure would be nothing if we had only leisure. It is the joy of work well done that enables us to enjoy rest, just as it is the experiences of hunger and thirst that make food and drink such pleasures.
ELISABETH ELLIOT
