    Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear—
    And he shows them pearly white—
    Just a jackknife has Macheath, dear—
    And he keeps it out of sight.
    —Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)

    A tremendous number of people in America work very hard at something that bores them. Even a rich man thinks he has to go down to the office every day. Not because he likes it but because he can’t think of anything else to do.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
