Work Quotes

You look at somebody's work as an actor and you can see their emotional life being fed into it and you can kind of feel them through it.

Nicole Kidman
Eliminate slogans, exhortations, and targets for the work force asking for zero defects and new levels of productivity.

W. Edwards Deming

I think that everybody who writes believes that their work has some kind of use-value, for someone, that there's some need for it, some person or group of people out there has demanded that these words come into being. I think that you do the work for these people. You hope that you can make a living at it. Whatever your ambitions and needs are in that regard, your only real requirement is to try and dig as deeply as you can dig to make sense of the meaning of human existence.

Treat your career like a bad boyfriend... Your career wont take care of you. It won't call you back or introduce you to its parents. Your career will openly flirt with other people while you are around... You have to care about your work, but not about the result. You have to care about how good you are and how good you feel, but not about how good people think you are or how good people think you look.
