Riley, Pat

Working from home meant we could vary snack and coffee breaks, change our desks or view, goof off, drink on the job, even spend the day in pajamas, and often meet to gossip or share ideas.

It was the ultimate "flextime," in that it depended on how flexible we felt each day, given deadlines, distractions, and workaholic crescendos.

Diane Ackerman

No true work since the world began was ever wasted; no true life since the world began has ever failed.

You all know that even when women have full rights, they still remain fatally downtrodden because all housework is left to them.

Concentration camps work, if your purpose is to enslave people. Stealing works, if all you care about is money. Lying works, if you don't give a damn about your personal integrity.
