Famous quotes containing the word work:

    ...I knew I wanted to be permanently self-supporting and I vaguely thought I might work somewhere in the realm of ideas. I felt that I had within me an undeveloped fount of ideas. I did not know exactly what my ideas were, but whatever they were I wanted to convert people to them.
    Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)

    America lives in the heart of every man everywhere who wishes to find a region where he will be free to work out his destiny as he chooses.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    ... actresses require protection in their art from blind abuse, from savage criticism. Their work is their religion, if they are seeking the best in their art, and to abuse that faith is to rob them, to dishonor them.
    Nance O’Neil (1874–1965)
