Labour

Famous quotes containing the word labour:

“Through throats where many rivers meet, the curlews cry,
Under the conceiving moon, on the high chalk hill,
And there this night I walk in the white giant’s thigh
Where barrren as boulders women lie longing still
To labour and love though they lay down long ago.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

“Measure not the work
Until the day’s out and the labour done,
Then bring your gauges.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

“A bad book is as much of a labour to write as a good one; it comes as sincerely from the author’s soul.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
