“No man engaged in a work he does not like can preserve many saving illusions about himself. The distaste, the absence of glamour, extend from the occupation to the personality. It is only when our appointed activities seem by a lucky accident to obey the particular earnestness of our temperament that we can taste the comfort of complete self-deception.” — Joseph Conrad

about himself. The distaste, the absence of glamour, extend from the occupation to the personality. It is only when our
