  131. What from the point of view of society is necessary labor is from his own point of view voluntary play.

  132. Whether a job is to be classified as labor or work depends, not on the job itself, but on the tastes of the individual who undertakes it.

  133. It is already possible to imagine a society in which the majority of the population, that is to say, its laborers, will have almost as much leisure as in earlier times was enjoyed by the aristocracy.
