What you don't necessarily realize when you start selling your time by the hour is that what you're really selling is your life. Barbara Ehrenreich
What would it mean in practice to eliminate all the 'negative people' from one's life [as demanded by motivational speaker J.P. Maroney]? It might be a good idea to separate from a chronically carping spouse, but it is not so easy to abandon the whiny toddler, the colicky infant, or the sullen teenager. Barbara Ehrenreich
The secret of the truly successful, I believe, is that they learned very early in life how not to be busy. They saw through that adage, repeated to me so often in childhood, that anything worth doing is worth doing well. Barbara Ehrenreich
When someone works for less pay than she can live on -- when, for example, she goes hungry so that you can eat more cheaply and conveniently -- than she has made a great sacrifice for you, she has made of a gift of some part of her abilities, her health, and her life. Barbara Ehrenreich
My father had been a copper miner, uncles and grandfathers worked in the mines for the Union Pacific.

Barbara Ehrenreich
