Vocation Quotes
On the work that calls you, not just the one you clock into.
These quotes treat vocation as something closer to a calling than a career choice — a first vocation found in dance, or an actor's Jesuit schooling that taught him to see the stage as a summons rather than a job. One line pushes further, framing waiting itself as a vocation for people left with nothing else.
A vocation is a noble thing and not to be subverted by the whims of politicians.
