Wages Act

Famous quotes containing the words wages and/or act:

“If the wages of sin are death, what else, I should like to know, is the wages of virtue?”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

“of artists dying in childbirth, wise-women charred at the stake,
centuries of books unwritten piled behind these shelves;
and we still have to stare into the absence
of men who would not, women who could not, speak
to our life—this still unexcavated hole
called civilization, this act of translation, this half-world.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
