Famous quotes containing the word work:
“Perpetual modernness is the measure of merit, in every work of art; since the author of it was not misled by anything short- lived or local, but abode by real and abiding traits.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I’m your wife, damn it. And if you can’t work up a winter passion for me, the least I require is respect and allegiance.”
—Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)
“A work in progress quickly becomes feral. It reverts to a wild state overnight. It is barely domesticated, a mustang on which you one day fastened a halter, but which now you cannot catch. It is a lion you cage in your study. As the work grows, it gets harder to control; it is a lion growing in strength. You must visit it every day and reassert your mastery over it. If you skip a day, you are, quite rightly, afraid to open the door to its room.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
