“The gravedigger's work is charming when done by a child.”
“It's surprising how hard we'll work when the work is done just for ourselves.”
“Astride of a grave and a difficult birth. Down in the hole, lingeringly, the gravedigger puts on the forceps.”
“I shall charm him with such force that when I am done, he will be left lying limply on the ground, trying to remember his own name.”
“Talking to Clarence can be like talking to a child, although it is much more charming in children.”
“What work I have done I have done because it has been play. If it had been work I shouldn't have done it. . . . The work that is really a man's own work is play and not work at all. . . . When we talk about the great workers of the world we really mean the great players of the world.”
