Status Bit

Famous quotes containing the words status and/or bit:

“Knowing how beleaguered working mothers truly are—knowing because I am one of them—I am still amazed at how one need only say “I work” to be forgiven all expectation, to be assigned almost a handicapped status that no decent human being would burden further with demands. “I work” has become the universally accepted excuse, invoked as an all-purpose explanation for bowing out, not participating, letting others down, or otherwise behaving inexcusably.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

“A Bird came down the Walk—
He did not know I saw—
He bit an Angleworm in halves”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
