Famous quotes containing the word work:

    “A work can become modern only if it is first postmodern. Postmodernism thus understood is not modernism at its end but in the nascent state, and this state is constant.”
    —Jean François Lyotard (b. 1924)

    “Let us work without theorizing, ‘tis the only way to make life endurable.”
    —Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    “Erasmus was the light of his century; others were its strength: he lighted the way; others knew how to walk on it while he himself remained in the shadow as the source of light always does. But he who points the way into a new era is no less worthy of veneration than he who is the first to enter it; those who work invisibly have also accomplished a feat.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)
