Work Quotes
-
All of my movies are about how I wish the world would work. I've made very few movies about how the world worked.

Work almost always has a double aspect: it is a bondage, a wearisome drudgery; but it is also a source of interest, a steadying element, a factor that helps to integrate the worker with society.
