Famous quotes containing the word work:

    There are hardly half a dozen writers in England today who have not sold out to the enemy. Even when their good work has been a success, Mammon grips them and whispers: “More money for more work.”
    Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)

    Auld Nature swears, the lovely Dears
    Her noblest work she classes, O:
    Her prentice han’ she try’d on man,
    An’ then she made the lasses, O.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    We visualized her less as a woman at work than as a light widening as it brightened.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
