“Life is one big chore.”
“We are traditionally rather proud of ourselves for having slipped creative work in there between the domestic chores and obligations. I'm not sure we deserve such big A-pluses for all that.”
“It's a chore for a fellow to fear for his life more than once in an evening.”
“One little chore to do, one little commission to fulfil, one message to carry, would spoil heaven itself.”
“...life is one big jest at the expense of humanity.”
“My life has been one big audition.”
