Famous quotes containing the word task:
“Your children are not here to fill the void left by marital dissatisfaction and disengagement. They are not to be utilized as a substitute for adult-adult intimacy. They are not in this world in order to satisfy a wifes or a husbands need for love, closeness or a sense of worth. A childs task is to fully develop his/her emerging self. When we place our children in the position of satisfying our needs, we rob them of their childhood.”
—Aaron Hess (20th century)
“Or seen the furrows shine but late upturned,
And where the fieldfare followed in the rear,
When all the fields around lay bound and hoar
Beneath a thick integument of snow.
So by Gods cheap economy made rich
To go upon my winters task again.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“The long days task is done,
And we must sleep.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
