"For every two minutes of glamour, there are eight hours of hard work." ― Jessica Savitch Topic(s): Work More From Jessica Savitch "What is the value of sticking a microphone in a man’s face right after he has learned of his wife’s death?" "Anyone who writes an autobiographical work at the age of 34 is, at best, presumptuous. It occurred to me that it was time to set the record straight." "I worked half my life to be an overnight success, and still it took me by surprise." More In Work "It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things."― Theodore Roosevelt "Yes, I, well, when I write, as often as I can, I try to write as if I’m talking to people. It doesn’t always work, and one shouldn’t always try it, but I try and write as if I am talking, and trying to engage the reader in conversation."― Christopher Hitchens "We are immortal until our work on earth is done."― George Whitefield
