Famous quotes containing the word work:

    All in all, the creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act. This becomes even more obvious when posterity gives its final verdict and sometimes rehabilitates forgotten artists.
    Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968)

    Lost is our freedom
    When we submit to women so:
    Why do we need ‘em
    When, in their best, they work our woe?
    Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    I look on that man as happy, who, when there is question of success, looks into his work for a reply, not into the market, not into opinion, not into patronage.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
