Friedrich Nietzsche 1882 über das Arbeiten: “Die atemlose Hast der Arbeit – das eigentliche Laster der neuen Welt – beginnt bereits durch Ansteckung das alte Europa wild zu machen und eine ganz wunderliche Geistlosigkeit darüber zu breiten.

Man denkt mit der Uhr in der Hand, wie man zu Mittag isst, das Auge auf das Börsenblatt gerichtet, – man lebt, wie einer, der fortwährend etwas ‚versäumen könnte‘. Die Arbeit bekommt immer mehr alles gute Gewissen auf ihre Seite: der Hang zur Freude nennt sich bereits ‚Bedürfnis der Erholung‘ und fängt an, sich vor sich selber zu schämen.”
