Thin Monotonous

Famous quotes containing the words thin and/or monotonous:

    Why does the thin grey strand
    Floating up from the forgotten
    Cigarette between my fingers,
    Why does it trouble me?
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    For a woman to get a rewarding sense of total creation by way of the multiple monotonous chores that are her daily lot would be as irrational as for an assembly line worker to rejoice that he had created an automobile because he tightened a bolt.
    Edith Mendel Stern (1901–1975)
