Barbara Ehrenreich

Adrian: Do you smell that?" Sydney: "I smell the paint, and... wait... is that pine?” Adrian: "Damn straight. Pine-scented cleaner. As in, I cleaned. With these hands, these hands that don't do manual labor.
Richelle Mead
Acting is a great way to make a living, especially when I consider what my alternatives were and probably still are. I mean, you are only making movies. It is a lot less pressure than being a surgeon; although it seemed like the only other thing that I was qualified for was manual labour.
James Spader
There was no blueprint or how-to manual for fixing a global financial meltdown, an auto crisis, two wars and a great recession, all at the same time.
Rahm Emanuel
There are moments when art attains almost to the dignity of manual labor.
Oscar Wilde
Any product that needs a manual to work is broken.
Elon Musk
In 1980, Chinese-Americans were certainly considered perpetual foreigners to America, even more so than today. In addition, Asians, in general, were regarded as poor, uneducated, and manual laborers-cooks, waiters, laundrymen-an image which has turned 180 degrees in my lifetime.
David Henry Hwang
It is because I have confidence in the reasoned appeal the Socialist Party can make to all sections of the community – manual workers and black coats alike – that I have decided to go to East Lewisham, if I am selected, emphasizing by this action my conviction that the soundest socialist appeal is that which is most universal in its scope.
Herbert Morrison
It was closer to manual labor than shooting a film. I always think of something Michael Caton-Jones told me 'Pain is temporary. Film is forever.'
Leonardo DiCaprio
I fantasize about having a manual job where I can come home at night, read a book and not feel responsible for what will happen the next day.
Jodie Foster
"Never fancied him anyway,” I'd write when a boy dumped me. I'd leave out things that had gone wrong, or been difficult. I think it was partly an exercise in defiance, a refusal to be defeated by life's adversities. So in that sense, my diary was a bit of a self-help manual, written by me, for me.
Tracey Thorn

Anatol Rapoport
Girls are complicated. The instruction manual that comes with girls is 800 pages, with chapters 14, 19, 26 and 32 missing, and it's badly translated, hard to figure out.
Hugh Laurie
Every time you suppress some part of yourself or allow others to play you small, you are in essence ignoring the owner's manual your creator gave you and destroying your design.
Oprah Winfrey
Food became for me a way of becoming self-sufficient with my hands, to regain manual literacy, which I think has been lost on our generation and certainly younger generations. Very few people can actually make things with their hands and do things with their hands.
Timothy Ferriss
The Psalms are an everlasting manual to the soul; the book of its immortal wishes, its troubles, its aspirations, and its hopes; sung in every tongue, and in every age; destined to endure while the universe of God has light, harmony, or grandeur, while man has religion or sensibility, while language has sublimity or sweetness.
Henry Giles
The utopian urge that prompted us in recent decades to write the world's thickest instruction manual, naming it the law of the land, has led us to invent a device that, like detailed rules, also avoids the untidiness of human judgment. It goes by an ancient name, process, but its purpose is new. It once existed to help humans make responsible decisions. Process now has become an end in itself.
Philip K. Howard
... Then anyone who leaves behind him a written manual, and likewise anyone who receives it, in the belief that such writing will be clear and certain, must be exceedingly simple-minded....
Plato
Dolphins, unlike us, do not have manual skills, but their dances, jumps, are perhaps the equivalent of our ballet. Sounds, like music in the Orthodox Church – without musical instruments – are probably their songs, by which they are holding long discourses. It is a semantically organized signal system.
Jerzy Vetulani
I had not only opportunity of seeing how different things have been made, but also manual work made me strong.
Jacob Leupold
