Famous quotes containing the word work:

    “Exile as a mode of genius no longer exists; in place of Joyce we have the fragments of work appearing in Index on Censorship.”
    —Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)

    “The best thing about Sassy Seats is that grandmothers cannot figure out how they work and are in constant fear of the child’s falling. This often makes them forget to comment on other aspects of the child’s development, like why he is not yet talking or is still wearing diapers. Some grandmothers will spend an entire meal peering beneath the table and saying, “Is that thing steady?” rather than, “Have you had a doctor look at that left hand?””
    —Anna Quindlen (20th century)

    “[To an admirer who said, “You look gorgeous”:] Oh, God, if you only knew how much work it takes.”
    —Julie Wilson (b. 1925)
