Famous quotes containing the words labour and/or conditions:

    “Through throats where many rivers meet, the curlews cry,
    Under the conceiving moon, on the high chalk hill,
    And there this night I walk in the white giant’s thigh
    Where barrren as boulders women lie longing still
    To labour and love though they lay down long ago.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “Any man who does not accept the conditions of life sells his soul.”
    —Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
