Quotation
“We plan, we toil, we suffer - in the hope of what? A camel-load of idol's eyes? The title deeds of Radio City? The empire of Asia? A trip to the moon? No, no, no, no. Simply to wake just in time to smell coffee and bacon and eggs.”
J. B. Priestly
The idea behind the quotation
People pursue grand ambitions and endure hardship, but their deepest reward may be the simple pleasure of waking in time to enjoy breakfast.
