Robert A. Heinlein Quote

Dr. Russell, I concede that Washington has an atrocious climate. But you will have air-conditioned offices.
With clocks, no doubt. And secretaries. And soundproofing.
Anything you want, doctor.
The point is, Mr. Secretary, I don't want them. This household has no clocks. Nor calendars. Once I had a large income and a larger ulcer; I now have a small income and no ulcer. I stay here.
But the job needs you.
The need is not mutual.
