Hard Segments

Famous quotes containing the words hard and/or segments:

    All the strong agonized men
    Wear the hard clothes of war,
    Try to remember what they are fighting for.
    But in dark weeping helpless moments of peace
    Women and poets believe and resist forever.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided; but the men: divided into mere segments of men—broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)
