Famous quotes containing the word worthwhile:

    A worthwhile person seeks not the easy life, for the easy life does not make a worthwhile person.
    Chinese proverb.

    The modern woman is the curse of the universe. A disaster, that’s what. She thinks that before her arrival on the scene no woman ever did anything worthwhile before, no woman was ever liberated until her time, no woman really ever amounted to anything.
    Adela Rogers St. Johns (1894–1988)

    To keep up even a worthwhile tradition means vitiating the idea behind it which must necessarily be in a constant state of evolution: it is mad to try to express new feelings in a “mummified” form.
    Alfred Jarry (1873–1907)
