We plan, we toil, we suffer — in the hope of what? A camel-load of idol’s eyes? The title deeds to Radio City? The Empire of Asia? A trip to the moon? No, no, no, no.

John Boynton Priestley, OM known as J. B. Priestley, was an English novelist, playwright and broadcaster. He published 26 novels, notably The Good Companions (1929), as well as numerous dramas, such as An Inspector Calls. His output included literary and social criticism.
