Compound Time

Famous quotes containing the words compound and/or time:

    Work is a responsibility most adults assume, a burden at times, a complication, but also a challenge that, like children, requires enormous energy and that holds the potential for qualitative, as well as quantitative, rewards. Isn’t this the only constructive perspective for women who have no choice but to work? And isn’t it a more healthy attitude for women writhing with guilt because they choose to compound the challenges of motherhood with work they enjoy?
    Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

    Harvey: About this Voltaire.
    Helene: What about him?
    Harvey: How’d he ever get time to do all he did?
    Helene: He lived to be old.
    Harvey: Even so, how many letters did he write?
    Helene: Oh, I don’t know exactly. Thousands.
    Harvey: I can’t remember when I even wrote one.
    Helene: You should try.
    Harvey: It’s too late. I wouldn’t know where to send it.
    Tom Waldman (d. 1985)
