Famous quotes containing the words special and/or forces:

    “I don’t like to be idle; in fact, I often feel somewhat guilty unless there is some purpose to what I am doing. But spending a few hours—or a few days—in the woods, swamps or alongside a stream has never seemed to me a waste of time.... I derive special benefit from a period of solitude.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    “Although Freud said happiness is composed of love and work, reality often forces us to choose love or work.”
    —Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
