There is something supple and secret about them. Besides, their perversity gives spice to their most innocent occupations, such as taking a walk in the garden at night.»
«I believe there are more urgent and honorable occupations than the incomparable waste of time we call suffering.»
«To condemn spontaneous and delightful occupations because they are useless for self-preservation shows an uncritical prizing of life irrespective of the content.»

«Occupations and resultant attitudes have been assigned to the various stages of human life.»
