I don't want money

"By temperament I'm a vagabond and a tramp. I don't want money badly enough to have to work for it. In my opinion it's a shame that there is so much work in the world. One of the saddest things is that the only thing a man can do for eight hours a day, day after day, is work. You can't eat eight hours a day nor drink for eight hours a day nor make love for eight hours-- all you can do for eight hours is work. Which is the reason why man makes himself and everybody else so miserable and unhappy." --William Faulkner, Paris Review Interviews Volume II
