Famous quotes containing the words dependency and/or hell:
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“Not in the legions
Of horrid hell can come a devil more damned
To top Macbeth.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
