Famous quotes containing the word working:

    We can come up with a working definition of life, which is what we did for the Viking mission to Mars. We said we could think in terms of a large molecule made up of carbon compounds that can replicate, or make copies of itself, and metabolize food and energy. So that’s the thought: macrocolecule, metabolism, replication.
    Cyril Ponnamperuma (b. 1923)

    Educators are aware that they can reach the youth only by making use of gang spirit and guiding it, not by working against it.
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamp-post what it feels about dogs.
    Christopher Hampton (b. 1946)
