Famous quotes containing the word work:
“How dare I read Washington’s campaigns, when I have not answered the letters of my own correspondents? Is not that a just objection to much of our reading? It is a pusillanimous desertion of our work to gaze after our neighbours. It is peeping.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Dear Felix, I have found some work for you. First of all we must have an eye-to-eye monologue and get things settled.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
