I stood behind a jolly drunk in the queue for the Post Office this morning. It was 10.30am. Another chap was buying his first tinny of the day at the shop counter. They reminded me of the above quotation - I've no idea where it originated but I first heard it in Heimat 2.
The other, less lighthearted, quotation that came to mind was from Thoreau:
"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation."
