Motivational Quotes

Work

The works of women are symbolical. We sew, sew, prick our fingers, dull our sight, producing what? A pair of slippers, sir, to put on when you're weary -- or a stool. To stumble over and vex you... curse that stool! Or else at best, a cushion, where you lean and sleep, and dream of something we are not, but would be for your sake. Alas, alas! This hurts most, this... that, after all, we are paid the worth of our work, perhaps.

- Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

The question is not whether the system works, but whether we like the way it works. Just because something works doesn't mean it is desirable.
