Famous quotes containing the word task:

    “When the theater gates open, a mob pours inside, and it is the poet’s task to turn it into an audience.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    “The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden; heaven is a playground.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    “To write weekly, to write daily, to write shortly, to write for busy people catching trains in the morning or for tired people coming home in the evening, is a heartbreaking task for men who know good writing from bad. They do it, but instinctively draw out of harm’s way anything precious that might be damaged by contact with the public, or anything sharp that might irritate its skin.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
