“Anyway everyboy (sorry) knows that what women have done that is really important is not to constitute a great, cheap labor force that you can zip in when you're at war and zip out again afterwards but to Be Mothers, to form the coming generation, to give birth to them, to nurse them, to mop floors for them, to love them, cook for them, clean for them, change their diapers, pick up after them, and mainly sacrifice themselves for them. This is the most important job in the world. That's why they don't pay you for it.” KnowsWorldGivingImportantWarDoneJobsFormMotherForcePayGenerationsSacrificeBirthPicksLaborCleanSorryCooksNurseDiapersImportant JobsZipsCheap LaborLabor Force Author:Joanna Russ
“Six months of looking for a job had made me an expert at picking out the people who, like me, were hurrying up to wait - in somebody's outer anything for a chance to make it through their inner doors to prove that you could type two words a minute, or not drool on your blouse while answering difficult questions about your middle initial and date of birth.” PeopleMadeTwoJobsWaitingDifficultWorkChanceDoorsMiddleMinutesTypeMonthsBirthProveSixLike MeExpertsSix MonthsInitialsHurryingDifficult QuestionsBlousesLooking For A Job Book:Mama Day: A Novel Source: Mama Day: A Novel
“The stark truth is that as long as the welfare state makes it possible for young women - or teenage girls - to have children without a husband and survive without a job, out-of-wedlock births will remain ruinously high, and the inner city will continue to be marked by crime, poverty, and despair.” ChildrenLongStatesJobsYoungGirlCitiesPovertyCrimeBirthTruth IsHusbandDespairWelfareYoung WomenTeenageStarksWelfare StateInner CityTeenage GirlWedlock Book:Libertarianism: A Primer Source: Libertarianism: A Primer
“Visit to Africa reshaped my point-of-view of colonialism. It reshaped my point-of-view of my own sense of source, and my own place of birth.

“Sin is a lonely thing, a worm wrapped around the soul, shielding it from love, from joy, from communion with fellow men and with God. The sense that I am alone, that none can hear me, none can understand, that no one answers my cries, it is a sickness over which, to borrow from Bernanos, “the vast tide of divine love, that sea of living, roaring flame which gave birth to all things, passes vainly.” Your job, it seems, would be to find a crack through which some sort of communication can be made, one soul to another.” MenMadeSoulSeemsWould BeJobsJoySinAnswersSeaCryDivineCommunicationBirthAll ThingsLonelyFellowsFlamesSicknessCracksTidesCommunionWormsDivine LoveFellow ManRoaring Book:Redeployment Source: Redeployment

“I've always seen making movies as a bunch of little births and deaths. We come in. We don't know anybody or very few people that we work with, but the nature of the job pulls us into a sort of an intimate kind of relationship and communication and then they're gone and it's kind of melancholy.

“And yet, over the years I've met so many people like Jared who seem to be more at home, happier, living in a country on of their birth. ... Not political refugees, escaping a repressing regime, nor economic refugees, crossing a border in search of a better-paying job. The are hedonic refugees, moving to a new land, a new culture, because they are happier there. Usually hedonic refugees have an ephiphany, a moment of great clarity when they realize, beyond a doubt, that they were born in the wrong country.” PeopleYearsCountryMomentsHomeSeemsJobsMovingPoliticalCultureRealizingBornDoubtEconomicLandBirthMetsClarityBordersRegimesRefugeeCrossingsEscapingNew Cultures Author:Eric Weiner
