A Quote by Elizabeth McCracken

I'm a higgledy-piggledy person in every way. On days that I work, I work for eight hours in a row, with my internet access entirely turned off, locked in my office.

I'm not someone who can be depended one five days a week. Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday? I don't even get out of bed five days in a row-I often don't remember to eat five days in a row. Reporting to a workplace, where I should need to stay for eight hours-eight big hours outside my home- was unfeasible.

Gillian Flynn

It's a shame that the only thing a man can do for eight hours a day is work. He can't eat for eight hours; he can't drink for eight hours; he can't make love for eight hours. The only thing a man can do for eight hours is work.

William Faulkner

Swoopers write a story quickly, higgledy-piggledy, crinkum-crankum, any which way. Then they go over it again painstakingly, fixing everything that is just plain awful or doesn’t work. Bashers go one sentence at a time, getting it exactly right before they go on to the next one. When they’re done they’re done.

Kurt Vonnegut

What a grand, higgledy-piggledy, sensible old place Norwich is!

J. B. Priestley

Eight hours of work, eight hours of play, eight hours of sleep - eight hours a day!

Bill Haywood

I say, you work eight hours, and you sleep eight hours - be sure they're not the same eight hours.

Eight hours work, eight hours sleep, and eight hours recreation - Brigham Young

Susa Young Gates

Work eight hours and sleep eight hours, and make sure that they are not the same eight hours.

T. Boone Pickens

I'm not disciplined at all. I barely function. But I get a lot done. I take days off all the time, but when I work, I work very fast and very efficiently. But I'm always having days when I'm feeling a little anxious, and I take a day off. I work in a funny way.

Simon Sebag Montefiore

I'm addicted to the Internet. I admit it. It has transformed the way I work as a senator, communicate with my children, and keep tabs on news and cultural developments.... The Internet is a more direct communications link between legislators and their constituents....I constantly work at fusing my Senate work into my office home page to make it as useful, timely, and user-friendly as possible for Vermonters and others who may visit.....I look at my Web site, as my 24-hour virtual office, where visitors can send me an e-mail or search for the information they need anytime, day or night.

Patrick Leahy

I work 15 hours a day and still go to the gym. Most people work eight hours a day and say, 'I haven't got time to work out.'

Charlie Hunnam

I usually work, like, 27 days in a row and then take one off.

Bobby Bones

I would work until I got stuck, and I would put it down and pick up something else. I might be able to take a 20-minute nap and get to work again. That way, I was able to work about 10 hours a day... It was important to me to work every day. I managed to work on Christmas day, just to be able to say I worked 365 days a year.
