Famous quotes containing the word works:

    “In saying what is obvious, never choose cunning. Yelling works better.”
    —Cynthia Ozick (b. 1928)

    “The whole idea of image is so confused. On the one hand, Madison Avenue is worried about the image of the players in a tennis tour. On the other hand, sports events are often sponsored by the makers of junk food, beer, and cigarettes. What’s the message when an athlete who works at keeping her body fit is sponsored by a sugar-filled snack that does more harm than good?”
    —Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)

    “I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein. There is in each of these works an act of invention, an intellectual step, or short series of steps taken; that act or step is the spiritual act; all the rest is mere repetition of the same a thousand times.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
