What a pitiable thing it is that our civilization can do no better for us than to make us slaves to indoor life, so that we have to go and take artificial exercise in order to preserve our health. -George Wharton James, journalist, author, and speaker (1858-1923)
This seems an odd way to express this thought. I agree that the need to devise artificial means to get physical exercise is a peculiar feature of modern life, but James sounds like he thinks there is some kind of entitlement involved!
