Workings Quotes (page 180)

Any woman or man who would write the truth of their lives would write a great work. But no one has dared to write the truth of their lives. Isadora Duncan
If you want to live and you want to prosper, you’ve got to be ambitious. You’ve got to be ready to sacrifice leisure and pleasure, and you’ve got to plan ahead. I was forty years old before I had any money at all. But these things don’t happen overnight. Now, how many people are there who will wait that long to be successful, and work all the time? Not very many. Maybe they’re right. Maybe I’m a bloody fool. But I don’t think I am. Roy Thomson
But I just went to work and imagined that I had on the most beautiful pale blue silk dress? because when you are imagining you might as well imagine something worth whil? L. M. Montgomery
Louisa May Alcott quote: "it is so much better to work for others than for one's self..."
it is so much better to work for others than for one's self alone. Louisa May Alcott
Think they work you too hard? Think of poor Ali Sard. He has to mow grass in his uncle's backyard and its quick growing grass and it grows as he mows it the faster he mows it the faster he grows it. And all that his stingy old uncle will pay for his shoving mower around the hay is piffulous pay of two dooklas a day. And Ali can't live on such piffulous pay! Dr. Seuss
I will say only that all a writer has to work with is the material he has gathered as the result of his own endeavor and observations, and he cannot be denied the right to use it. Condemn, but not deny. Truman Capote
Louise Bogan quote: "You need some place to work in. That's the door half open."
You need some place to work in. That's the door half open. Louise Bogan
My favorite “trick” is to stop writing at a point where I know that I can pick up easily the next day. I’ll stop in mid-paragraph, often in midsentence. It makes getting out of bed so much easier, because I know that all I’ll have to do to be productive is complete the sentence. And by then I’ll be seated at my desk, coffee and Oreo cookie at hand, the morning’s inertia overcome. There’s an added advantage: The human brain hates incomplete sentences. All night my mind will have secretly... Erik Larson
It ain't that you get religion. Religion gets you and then milks you dry. Won't let you drink a little whiskey. Won't let you make no fat-assed girls grin and giggle. Won't let you do a damn thing except work for what you'll get in the hearafter. I live in the here and now. Dorothy Allison
A great deal has been said about love at first sight; I am perfectly aware of love's retrospective tendency to make a legend of itself, turn its beginnings into myth; so I don't want to assert that it was love; but I have no doubt there was a kind of clairvoyance at work: I immediately felt, sensed, grasped the essence of Lucie's being or, to be more precise, the essence of what she was later to become for me; Lucie had revealed herself to me the way religious truth reveals itself. Milan Kundera
Despots play their part in the works of thinkers. The writer doubles and trebles the power of writing when a ruler imposes silence on the people. Victor Hugo
You may not instantly see why I bring the subject up, but that is because my mind works so phenomenally fast, and I am at a rough estimate thirty billion times more intelligent than you. Let me give you an example. Think of a number, any number? Douglas Adams
While there is a working class, I am in it. While there is a criminal element, I am of it. While there is a soul in prison, I am not free. Eugene V. Debs
I have rightfully no other business each day but to do God's work as a servant, constantly regarding His pleasure. May I have grace to live above every human motive, simply with God and to God. Henry Martyn
Albert Einstein quote: "Success = 1 part work + 1 part play + 1 part keep your mouth shut"
Success = 1 part work + 1 part play + 1 part keep your mouth shut Albert Einstein
