Famous quotes containing the word work:
“The beaux and the babies, the servant troubles, and the social aspirations of the other girls seemed to me superficial. My work did not. I was professional. I could earn my own money, or I could be fired if I were inefficient. It was something to get your teeth into. It was living.”
—Edna Woolman Chase (1877–1957)
““As for myself, I am simply Hop-Frog, the jester—and this is my last jest.”... The Work of vengeance was complete.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“There exist few things more tedious than a discussion of general ideas inflicted by author or reader upon a work of fiction.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
