"I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours."

"I can't sit still and see another man slaving and working. I want to get up and superintend, and walk round with my hands in my pockets, and tell him what to do. It is my energetic nature. I can't help it."
— Jerome K. Jerome (Three Men in a Boat)
— Jerome K. Jerome (Three Men in a Boat)
"It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of
work to do. There is no fun in doing nothing when you have nothing to
do. Wasting time is merely an occupation then, and a most exhausting
one. Idleness, like kisses, to be sweet must be stolen.
