No one should ever work. Work is the source of nearly all

the misery in the world. Almost any evil you’d care to
name comes from working or from living in a world
designed for work. In order to stop suffering, we have to
stop working.

Bob Black, The Abolition of Work

(Port Townsend: Loompanics Unlimited, 1986).
