Busy

Famous quotes containing the word busy:

“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)

“Now ‘tis nought
But restless hurry through the busy air,
Beat by unnumbered wings.”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)

“My busy heart who shudders as she talks
Sheds the syllabic blood and drains her words.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
