Tuco's line on overwork recirculates online
Original: A quotation from Sergio Leone TUCO: If you work for a living, why do you kill yourself working? Sergio Leone (1929–1989)
A quote attributed to Sergio Leone's character Tuco in "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" (1966) — "If you work for a living, why do you kill yourself working?" — is being shared and quoted again. The line, credited to Leone and his screenwriters, is striking a chord as a wry comment on overwork and the meaning of labour.
Why now: The quote resonates with ongoing debates about overwork, hustle culture and the value of labour.
