“Some day no one will have to work more than two days a week”
Julian Huxley (1887–1975) English biologist, philosopher, author
"Prof. Huxley Predicts 2-Day Working Week" The New York Times (17 November 1930) p. 42
Context: Some day no one will have to work more than two days a week... The human being can consume so much and no more. When we reach the point when the world produces all the goods that it needs in two days, as it inevitably will, we must curtail our production of goods and turn our attention to the great problem of what to do with our new leisure.
“I have made as many as eighteen [rather definitive sketches of cattle] in one month..”
Constant Troyon (1810–1865) French painter
Quoted by W.H. Fuller, https://ia601705.us.archive.org/34/items/frick-31072002278184/31072002278184.pdf, in Constant Troyon and Charles Daubigny at the Union League Club - catalogue of November Exhibition 1895; publisher: Gallison & Hobron, New York 1895, p. 12 <br class="br">A friend of Troyon relates how the painter, after his return in 1855 from a sketching tour in Touraine, showed him what seemed an almost endless panorama of great, splendid studies of cattle, most of which were, indeed, finished pictures; and when he expressed astonishment at their number and beauty, Troyon responded quietly
William Faulkner (1897–1962) American writer
Paris Review interview (1958)
Context: There were many things I could do for two or three days and earn enough money to live on for the rest of the month. By temperament I’m a vagabond and a tramp. I don’t want money badly enough 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 that 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.
