Replace the Judgement

"the development of a science ... involves the establishment of many rules, laws and formulae which replace the judgement of the individual workman ... the workman is told minutely what he is to do and how he is to do it; any improvement which he makes upon the orders given to him is fatal to success."
Frederick Taylor

Sacred Work

"I have a great future before me. My forebodings cannot deceive me. If I can but succeed in fulfilling only a small part of that which swells my breast, I do not want anything more. I do not want happiness, I do not think of happiness; I want work, stern work, sacred work. There is a wide field before me, and my lot will not be a small one."

Bakunin in a letter to his family, 1842, quoted in Max Nomad, Apostles of the Revolution, 1939
