Busy

Famous quotes containing the word busy:

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

    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)

    The man of sensibility is too busy talking about his feelings to have time for good deeds.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
