Famous quotes containing the word work:

    “We might remind ourselves that criticism is as inevitable as breathing, and that we should be none the worse for articulating what passes in our minds when we read a book and feel an emotion about it, for criticizing our own minds in their work of criticism.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “The great work must inevitably be obscure, except to the very few, to those who like the author himself are initiated into the mysteries. Communication then is secondary: it is perpetuation which is important. For this only one good reader is necessary.”
    —Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    “The country needs the political work of women to-day as much as it has ever needed woman in any other work at any other time.”
    —J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
