Quotations
The purpose of work is to remove those who are living from a state of wretchedness and lead them into a state of blessedness. --Dante
Quotations
The nature of work involves both physical and spiritual struggles. Beyond all other considerations, work is about constant embarrassment and shame you feel about yourself every day. Work is a two-sided thing: on the one hand, one has to work to make money and maintain his/her livelihood; on the other hand, one gains spiritual delight and social recognition by working. Work is less boring than fascinating oneself. To sum up, the purpose of work is to search for a meaningful life rather than to go through a routine and mechanical one.

In short, for a sort of life rather than a Monday through Friday sort of dying… --Studs Terkel
