I don’t like work. I’d rather laze about and think of all the fine things that can be done. I don’t like work – no one does – but I like what is in the work – the chance to find yourself. Your own reality – for yourself, not for others – what no one else can ever know. They can only see the mere show, and never can tell what it really means.
[Joseph Conrad, ‘Heart of Darkness’]
