..... A life spent in constant labor is a life wasted, save a man be such a fool as to regard a fulsome obituary notice as ample reward. Show me a man who, as the phrase goes, works himself to death and I'll show you an unimaginative dolt. There is a lot of amusement in this world and a man should get his full share of it.
..........— George Jean Nathan (1882 –1958), American drama critic, editor. Testament of a Critic (Published by Alfred A Knopf in New York, 1931). Also found in Living Philosophies Chapter XV: George Jean Nathan, page 226 (Published by Simon and Schuster in New York, 1931).
