Famous quotes containing the words resources, research and/or tools:

    “When we want culture more than potatoes, and illumination more than sugar-plums, then the great resources of a world are taxed and drawn out, and the result, or staple production, is, not slaves, nor operatives, but men,—those rare fruits called heroes, saints, poets, philosophers, and redeemers.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The great question that has never been answered and which I have not get been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a women want?””
    —Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)

    “A life I didn’t choose
    chose me: even
    my tools are the wrong ones
    for what I have to do.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
