Famous quotes containing the word work:

    “The great work must inevitably be obscure, except to the very few, to those who like the author himself are initiated into the mysteries. Communication then is secondary: it is perpetuation which is important. For this only one good reader is necessary.”
    —Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    “Ours is the old, old story of every uprising race or class or order. The work of elevation must be wrought by ourselves or not at all.”
    —Frances Power Cobbe (1822–1904)

    “We are weighed down, every moment, by the conception and the sensation of Time. And there are but two means of escaping and forgetting this nightmare: pleasure and work. Pleasure consumes us. Work strengthens us. Let us choose.”
    —Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
