Working Memory Capacity

Famous quotes containing the words working, memory and/or capacity:

“Work is an essential part of being alive. Your work is your identity. It tells you who you are. It’s gotten so abstract. People don’t work for the sake of working. They’re working for a car, a new house, or a vacation. It’s not the work itself that’s important to them. There’s such a joy in doing work well.”
—Kay Stepkin, U.S. baker. As quoted in Working, book 8, by Studs Terkel (1973)

“Men like my father cannot die. They are with me still, real in memory as they were in flesh, loving and beloved forever. How green was my valley then.”
—Philip Dunne (1908–1992)

“Popularity—The capacity for listening sympathetically when men boast of their wives and women complain of their husbands.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
