"If there has ever been a better invention than the hammock, then I’ve yet to hear of it. During the recent spell of jubilicious weather, I blissfully rediscovered the joys of lying, cradled, suspended in sunshine. Of course there’s the wheel, but the wheel is actually only useful if you want to go somewhere. If you’ve found where you want to be and you don’t need to move then a hammock – or “hangabout”, as my daughter dubs it – is about the most beautiful thing you could imagine."

— Dan Stevens talking about the best invention in the world (x)
