Quotes for Ru (twitter fail)
I was posting quotes about work on Twitter this morning for my friend Ru. But in the midst of it, Twitter let out one of those death rattles it makes when it can’t handle the tweet volume. So I’m posting the whole series of quotes here (which makes more sense since most are more than 140 characters)”
Khalil Gibran:
They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.
Martha Kelly:
I signed up with a temp agency, and much to my dismay they actually found me a job. It had been a couple of years since I’d worked in an office, so I thought I should prepare for it. I went to the YMCA with a friend and had him tie me up in a burlap sack and sink me to the bottom of the pool. Just as I was about to suffocate, he yanked me up and gave me a lunch break.
Luis Bunuel:
I say to hell with the work you have to do to earn a living! That kind of work does us no honor; all it does is fill up the bellies of the pigs who exploit us.
Sam Keen:
There is no easy formula for determining right ans wrong livelihood, but it is essential to keep the question alive…. We have to stop pretending that we can make a living at something that is trivial or destructive and still have a sense of legitimate self-worth. A society in which vocation and job are separated for most people gradually creates an economy that is often devoid of spirit, one that frequently fills our pocketbooks at the cost of emptying our souls.
Fuck work!
