Quotes

• “It was in the damp, dark sweatshops of New York where I learned to sing of oppression, suffering and misery. During the day I worked and at night I wrote my poems.”
• “The machines in the shop roar so wildly that often I forget in the roar that I am; I am lost in the terrible tumult, my ego disappears, I am a machine. I work, and work, and work without end; I am busy, and busy, and busy at all time. For what? and for whom? I know not, I ask not! How should a machine ever come to think?”
• “The tick of the clock is the Boss in his anger!The face of the clock has the eyes of a foe;The clock—Oh, I shudder—dost hear how it drives me?It calls me “Machine!” and it cries to me “Sew!””
• “When the work will have killed him another will be sitting in his place and sewing.”
• “I have a little boy, a fine little fellow is he! When I see him, it appears to me the whole world is mine.Only rarely, rarely I see him, my pretty little son, when he is awake; I find him always asleep, I see him only at night.My work drives me out early and brings me home late; oh, my own flesh is a stranger to me! oh, strange to me the glances of my child!”
