Famous quotes containing the word work:
“It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. There is no fun in doing nothing when you have nothing to do. Wasting time is merely an occupation then, and a most exhausting one. Idleness, like kisses, to be sweet must be stolen.”
—Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)
“A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
