Famous quotes containing the words book and/or rack:
“... you can have a couple of seconds to rest in. I mean seconds. You have about two seconds to wait while the blanker is on the felt drawing the moisture out. You can stand and relax those two seconds—three seconds at most. You wish you didn’t have to work in a factory. When it’s all you know what to do, that’s what you do.”
—Grace Clements, U.S. factory worker. As quoted in Working, book 5, by Studs Terkel (1973)
“Vex not his ghost. O, let him pass; he hates him
That would upon the rack of this tough world
Stretch him out longer.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
