1) Those instrumental goods which should serve to maintain the life and health of all human beings should be produced by the least possible labor of all.
2) The satisfaction of physical needs is indeed the indispensable precondition of a satisfactory existence, but in itself is not enough. In order to be content men must also have the possibility of developing their intellectual and artistic powers to whatever extent accord with their personal characteristics and abilities.
...
Man should not have to work for the achievement of the necessities of life to such an extent that he has neither time nor strength for personal activities."
- A. Einstein
(From Freedom,Its Meaning,
Harcourt Brace & Co., New York, 1940).
"For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilisation, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints."
La gran cosa è muoversi, sentire più da vicino le necessità e gli intralci del vivere; scendere da questo letto di piume della civiltà, e trovare sotto i piedi il granito del globo, sparso di selci taglienti.
- Robert Louis Stevenson
(From Travelling with a Donkey)
