Quote #10
"He works far too hard; he always has. It is a thing I have sometimes held against him, that his family must come second to his job." (8.3.10)

Even though it might have negative consequences, Oliver's seemingly inexhaustible work ethic comes from his love for his family. He does it for them, not because he's just a workaholic.
