For shift workers, devices mean they’re accessible in ways they weren’t before, susceptible to that call from the boss to log more hours.” ~ Katrina Onstad

- “The weak are not a noble breed. Their sublime deeds of faith, daring, and self-sacrifice usually spring from questionable motives. The weak hate not wickedness but weakness; and one instance of their hatred of weakness is hatred of self.

It is a striving shot through with malice, envy, self-deception, and a host of petty impulses; yet it often culminates in superb achievements.” ~ Eric Hoffer

We have enough trouble as it is.'” ~ Nat Hentoff
