1. “Real wealth is being able to live without working.”

    Albert Cossery was a man in no hurry, and in this he hoped to lead by example.

    Asked why he wrote, he replied: so that his readers would not get up for work the next day.

    —from Patrick McGunniess’s review of Albert Cossery’s Proud Beggars and The Jokers in The Times Literary Supplement
