Famous quotes containing the word work:

    “A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind.”
    —Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)

    “It is not easy to imagine how little interested a scientist usually is in the work of any other, with the possible exception of the teacher who backs him or the student who honors him.”
    —Jean Rostand (1894–1977)

    “I watched a small man with thick calluses on both hands work fifteen and sixteen hours a day. I saw him once literally bleed from the bottoms of his feet, a man who came here uneducated, alone, unable to speak the language, who taught me all I needed to know about faith and hard work by the simple eloquence of his example.”
    —Mario Cuomo (b. 1932)
