Famous quotes containing the word work:
“Writing a book I have found to be like building a house. A man forms a plan, and collects materials. He thinks he has enough to raise a large and stately edifice; but after he has arranged, compacted and polished, his work turns out to be a very small performance. The authour however like the builder, knows how much labour his work has cost him; and therefore estimates it at a higher rate than other people think it deserves,”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
“I’m your wife, damn it. And if you can’t work up a winter passion for me, the least I require is respect and allegiance.”
—Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)
