Famous quotes containing the word work:

    “A written word is the choicest of relics. It is something at once more intimate with us and more universal than any other work of art. It is the work of art nearest to life itself. It may be translated into every language, and not only be read but actually breathed from all human lips;Mnot be represented on canvas or in marble only, but be carved out of the breath of life itself. The symbol of an ancient man’s thought becomes a modern man’s speech.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Where the whole man is involved there is no work. Work begins with the division of labor.”
    —Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

    “Neither a work of nature nor one of art we get to know when they have been finished; we must surprise them in the process of being created so as to understand them to some degree.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
