Life

But life wasn’t yes-no, on-off. Life was shades of gray, and rainbows not in
the order of the spectrum.

L. E. Modesitt, Jr. Adiamante

Work

No group or class should be freed from doing the toil of the culture. One of
our current problems is that there are too many people who simply have no
idea how much unpleasant, tedious, and repetitive work is required to
support their ‘high-level’ activities, and how ineffective they would be
without the effort of those they all too often disdain.

Robert Theobald
