Drudgery Quotes

Margaret Fuller quote: "Drudgery is as necessary to call out the treasures of the..."
Drudgery is as necessary to call out the treasures of the mind, as harrowing and planting those of the earth. Margaret Fuller
I'm really trying to respond to the foods that are in the stores and just pulling the things that are the very best and cook what looks beautiful and is seasonal. That's the way to go. I love going to the grocery store and the market. None of it's drudgery for me. Washing dishes is the drudgery. Ted Allen
There are people who buy pictures because they were difficult to do, and are done. Such pictures are often only a record of pain and dull perseverance. Great works of art should look as though they were made in joy. Real joy is a tremendous activity, dull drudgery is nothing to it. Robert Henri
The aims of these three groups are entirely irreconcilable. The aim of the High is to remain where they are. The aim of the Middle is to change places with the High. The aim of the Low, when they have an aim-for it is an abiding characteristic of the Low that they are too much crushed by drudgery to be more than intermittently conscious of anything outside their daily lives -is to abolish all distinctions and create a society in which all men shall be equal. George Orwell
True the Black woman did the housework, the drudgery; true, she reared the children, often alone, but she did all of that while occupying a place on the job market, a place her mate could not get or which his pride would not let him accept. And she had nothing to fall back on: not maleness, not whiteness, not ladyhood, not anything. And out of the profound desolation of her reality she may very well have invented herself. Toni Morrison
The paradise offered by the culture industry is the same old drudgery. Both escape and elopement are pre-designed to lead back to the starting point. Pleasure promotes the resignation which it ought to help to forget. Theodor Adorno
For man seems to be unable to live without myth, without the belief that the routine and drudgery, the pain and fear of this life have some meaning and goal in the future. At once new myths come into being? political and economic myths with extravagant promises of the best of futures in the present world. These myths give the individual a certain sense of meaning by making him part of a vast social effort, in which he loses something of his own emptiness and loneliness. Yet the very violence... Alan Watts
Gordon B. Hinckley quote: "Work without vision is drudgery. Vision without work is..."
Work without vision is drudgery. Vision without work is dreaming. Work plus vision-this is destiny. Gordon B. Hinckley
James Patterson quote: "Reading is not work, not a chore, not a drudgery; reading is..."
Reading is not work, not a chore, not a drudgery; reading is the most joyful thing, yet, in the world. James Patterson
The secret of good cooking is, first, having a love of it… If you’re convinced that cooking is drudgery, you’re never going to be good at it, and you might as well warm up something frozen. James Beard
Every worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph: a beginning, a struggle, and a victory. Mahatma Gandhi
My father, whom I implicitly believed, represented adult life as one of incessant drudgery under the continual threat of financial ruin. C. S. Lewis
Walter Mosley quote: "I took up writing to escape the drudgery of that every day..."
I took up writing to escape the drudgery of that every day cubicle kind of war. Walter Mosley
I think sometimes all you need is to hear someone else say the same thing that you're going through to realize that you're not alone. I try to put some sense of hope into the songs, into whatever the situation is so that it's not just dirt, drudgery and a life of misery. Sarah McLachlan
Like many students, I found the drudgery of real experiments and the slowness of progress a complete shock, and at my low points I contemplated other alternative careers including study of the philosophy or sociology of science. Paul Nurse
