Famous quotes containing the words working, poor and/or people:

    She isn’t harassed. She’s busy, and it’s glamorous to be busy. Indeed, the image of the on- the-go working mother is very like the glamorous image of the busy top executive. The scarcity of the working mother’s time seems like the scarcity of the top executive’s time.... The analogy between the busy working mother and the busy top executive obscures the wage gap between them at work, and their different amounts of backstage support at home.
    Arlie Hochschild (20th century)

    Maria: When we enter the Abbey, our worldly clothes are given to the poor.
    Colonel Von Trapp: What about this one?
    Maria: The poor didn’t want this one.
    Ernest Lehman (b. 1920)

    The surest sign that two people no longer speak the same language is that both say ironic things to one another but that neither senses the irony.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
