Famous quotes containing the words working and/or solvent:
“The worst fault of the working classes is telling their children they’re not going to succeed, saying: “There is life, but it’s not for you.””
—John Mortimer (b. 1923)
“Analysis as an instrument of enlightenment and civilization is good, in so far as it shatters absurd convictions, acts as a solvent upon natural prejudices, and undermines authority; good, in other words, in that it sets free, refines, humanizes, makes slaves ripe for freedom. But it is bad, very bad, in so far as it stands in the way of action, cannot shape the vital forces, maims life at its roots. Analysis can be a very unappetizing affair, as much so as death.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
