Famous quotes containing the word work:

    “Life is indeed darkness save when there is urge,
    And all urge is blind save when there is knowledge,

    And all work is empty save when there is love.”
    —Kahlil Gibran (1883–1931)

    “But the doctrine of the Farm is merely this, that every man ought to stand in primary relations to the work of the world, ought to do it himself, and not to suffer the accident of his having a purse in his pocket, or his having been bred to some dishonorable and injurious craft, to sever him from those duties.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Exile as a mode of genius no longer exists; in place of Joyce we have the fragments of work appearing in Index on Censorship.”
