Famous quotes containing the words important and/or works:

    “Work is an essential part of being alive. Your work is your identity. It tells you who you are. It’s gotten so abstract. People don’t work for the sake of working. They’re working for a car, a new house, or a vacation. It’s not the work itself that’s important to them. There’s such a joy in doing work well.”
    —Kay Stepkin, U.S. baker. As quoted in Working, book 8, by Studs Terkel (1973)

    “My first childish doubt as to whether God could really be a good Protestant was suggested by my observation of the deplorable fact that the best voices available for combination with my mother’s in the works of the great composers had been unaccountably vouchsafed to Roman Catholics.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
