Ground Work

Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or work:

    When all is said and done, friendship is the only trustworthy fabric of the affections. So-called love is a delirious inhuman state of mind: when hot it substitutes indulgence for fair play; when cold it is cruel, but friendship is warmth in cold, firm ground in a bog.
    Miles Franklin (1879–1954)

    And this is the final meaning of work: the extension of human consciousness. The lesser meaning of work is the achieving of self-preservation.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
