Famous quotes containing the word work:
“He does not go to the dictionary, the word-book, but to the word-manufactory itself, and has made endless work for the lexicographers.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I see no reason for calling my work poetry except that there is no other category in which to put it.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
“The poet needs a ground in popular tradition on which he may work, and which, again, may restrain his art within the due temperance. It holds him to the people, supplies a foundation for his edifice; and, in furnishing so much work done to his hand, leaves him at leisure, and in full strength for the audacities of his imagination.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
