They have even become real needs for many people, whose minds are no longer fed by anything but sudden changes and constantly renewed stimuli. We can no longer bear anything that lasts. We no longer know how to make boredom bear fruit. So the whole question comes down to this: can the human mind master what the human mind has made?

Paul Valery

The longest lives are short; our work lasts longer.

Rose Wilder Lane

Genius lasts longer than beauty

Oscar Wilde

Above a certain level of income, the relative value of material consumption vis-a-vis leisure time is diminished, so earning a higher income at the cost of working longer hours may reduce the quality of your life.

They may be compelled to work long hours, even if they actually want to take longer holidays.
