    It always does seem to me that I am doing more work than I should do. It is not that I object to work; it facinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours. I love to keep it by me: the idea of getting rid of it nearly breaks my heart.

    Je vais te dire quelque chose, mon ami: c’est plus facile d’être malheureux qu’heureux, et moi, tu m’entends, je n’aime pas les gens qui choisissent la facilitê, je n’aime pas les geignards! Sois heureux, merde! Fais ce qu’il faut pour être heureux!

  • Quote

    Laziness is always dignified, it is always reposeful. Philosophical laziness, we mean. The kind of laziness that is based upon a carefully reasoned analysis of experience. Acquired laziness. We have no respect for those who were born lazy; it is like being born a millionaire: they cannot appreciate their bliss. It is the man who has hammered his laziness out of the stubborn material of life for whom we chant praise and allelulia.
