I became a writer all the same, and shall remain one until the end of chapter, just as a cow goes on giving milk all her life, even though what appears to be her self-interest urges her to give gin.

Wherefore do ye toil; is it not that ye may live and be happy? And if ye toil only that ye may toil more, when shall happiness find you?

Perché lavorate? Non potreste limitarvi a vivere ed essere contenti? E se vi affaticate solo per potervi affaticare di più, quando troverete la felicità?
