Famous quotes containing the words thread and/or work:
“Theres something like a line of gold thread running through a mans words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself. Its another thing, though, to hold up that cloth for inspection.”
—John Gregory Brown (20th century)
“Black women ... work because their husbands cant make enough money at their jobs to keep everything going.... They dont go to work to find fulfillment, or adventure, or glamour and romance, like so many white women think they are doing. Black women work out of necessity.”
—Wilma Rudolph (19401994)
