Famous quotes containing the words newspaper and/or work:
“A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“A perfect personality ... is only possible in a state of society where man is free to choose the mode of work, the conditions of work, and the freedom to work. One to whom the making of a table, the building of a house, or the tilling of the soil, is what the painting is to the artist and the discovery to the scientist,—the result of inspiration, of intense longing, and deep interest in work as a creative force.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
