About This Quote

The trouble with being in the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat. The rat race is the endless pursuit of profit and status that many people find themselves involved in. An often-used metaphor for the rat race is an endless maze, with few exits and at least one dead-end. Often, this is not a place where one wants to be.
