Famous quotes containing the words life and/or work:
“Thats playgirl stuff, Brownie. Ive seen them in London, Paris, Rome. They start life in a New York nightclub and end up covering the world like a paid advertisement. Not an honest feeling from her kneecap to her neck.”
—John Lee Mahin (19021984)
“Lets holler and ask him if he wont prescribe
For all humanity a complete rest
From all this wagery. But whats the use
Of asking any sympathy of him?
That class of people dont know what work is....”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
