Labor Day Hurricane

Famous quotes containing the words labor, day and/or hurricane:

“... continual hard labor deadens the energies of the soul, and benumbs the faculties of the mind; the ideas become confined, the mind barren, and, like the scorching sands of Arabia, produces nothing; or, like the uncultivated soil, brings forth thorns and thistles. Again, continual hard labor irritates our tempers and sours our dispositions; the whole system become worn out with toil and fatigue; nature herself becomes almost exhausted, and we care but little whether we live or die.”
—Maria Stewart (1803–1879)

“How selfhood begins with a walking away,
And love is proved in the letting go.”
—C. Day Lewis (20th century)

“Staid middle age loves the hurricane passions of opera.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
