Useless Work Quotes

“Beggars do not work, it is said; but, then, what is WORK? A navvy works by swinging a pick. An accountant works by adding up figures. A beggar works by standing out of doors in all weathers and getting varicose veins, chronic bronchitis, etc. It is a trade like any other; quite useless, of course--but, then, many reputable trades are quite useless.”
― George Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London

“The role of useless ideas is to help us see the useful ones.”
― Tamerlan Kuzgov
