Labour Demand

Famous quotes containing the words labour and/or demand:

““To be born woman is to know—
Although they do not talk of it at school—
That we must labour to be beautiful.””

“Most of the ladies and gentlemen who mourn the passing of the nation’s leaders wouldn’t know a leader if they saw one. If they had the bad luck to come across a leader, they would find out that he might demand something from them, and this impertinence would put an abrupt and indignant end to their wish for his return.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
