Famous quotes containing the word work:

    “Men are allowed to have passion and commitment for their work ... a woman is allowed that feeling for a man, but not her work.”
    —Barbra Streisand (b. 1942)

    “[To an admirer who said, “You look gorgeous”:] Oh, God, if you only knew how much work it takes.”
    —Julie Wilson (b. 1925)

    “The real risks for any artist are taken ... in pushing the work to the limits of what is possible, in the attempt to increase the sum of what it is possible to think. Books become good when they go to this edge and risk falling over it—when they endanger the artist by reason of what he has, or has not, artistically dared.”
    —Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
