Famous quotes containing the words top and/or rope:
“She isn’t harassed. She’s busy, and it’s glamorous to be busy. Indeed, the image of the on- the-go working mother is very like the glamorous image of the busy top executive. The scarcity of the working mother’s time seems like the scarcity of the top executive’s time.... The analogy between the busy working mother and the busy top executive obscures the wage gap between them at work, and their different amounts of backstage support at home.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“There are slavish souls who carry their appreciation for favors done them so far that they strangle themselves with the rope of gratitude.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
