I suppose I don't have to work, but I do love working. I class myself as a working-class girl, and I've never stopped working.

I'm definitely working class, and I always will be.
One who loves Krishna will give Him whatever He wants, and he avoids offering anything which is undesirable or unasked for.

Whatever else you eat, can not be offered to Him, since He will not accept it.

Or if the hypothesis were offered us of a world in which Messrs. Fourier's and Bellamy's and Morris's Utopias should all be outdone, and millions kept permanently happy on the one simple condition that a certain lost soul on the far-off edge of things should lead a life of lonely torment, what except a specifical and independent sort of emotion can it be which would make us immediately feel, even though an impulse arose within us to clutch at the happiness so offered, how hideous a thing would be its enjoyment when deliberately accepted as the fruit of such a bargain?
