Famous quotes containing the word work:

    Men are allowed to have passion and commitment for their work ... a woman is allowed that feeling for a man, but not her work.
    Barbra Streisand (b. 1942)

    It is fair to assume that when women in the past have achieved even a second or third place in the ranks of genius they have shown far more native ability than men have needed to reach the same eminence. Not excused from the more general duties that constitute the cement of society, most women of talent have had but one hand free with which to work out their ideal conceptions.
    Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)

    So work the honey-bees,
    Creatures that by a rule in nature teach
    The act of order to a peopled kingdom.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
