Bad Book

Famous quotes containing the words bad and/or book:

    “To regard the successful experiences which ensue from a belief as a criterion of its truth is one thing—and a thing that is sometimes bad and sometimes good—but to assume that truth itself consists in the process by which it is verified is a different thing and always bad.”
    —William Pepperell Montague (1842–1910)

    “... you can have a couple of seconds to rest in. I mean seconds. You have about two seconds to wait while the blanker is on the felt drawing the moisture out. You can stand and relax those two seconds—three seconds at most. You wish you didn’t have to work in a factory. When it’s all you know what to do, that’s what you do.”
    —Grace Clements, U.S. factory worker. As quoted in Working, book 5, by Studs Terkel (1973)
