“No, I don’t like work, I had rather laze about and think of all the fine things that can be done. I don’t like work — no man does — but I like what is on the work — the chance to find yourself. Your own reality — for yourself, not for others — what no other man can ever know. They can only see the mere show, and can never tell what it really means.”
