The quote, "Work without hope draws nectar in a sieve. And hope without an object cannot live", is in our novel Nectar in a Sieve. This quote is an epigraph of his book. This epigraph helps the reader by predicting the the theme and what will happen throughout the story. It mentions the title of the book inside and shows the keywords of the book. This quote has very deep meanings. My paraphrase of this quote will be like if you work without an object or wish or hope, then you work will have no results or your work is nothing. You also won't feel happy when you are working. It is like working without a goal in life. When you have no goals in life, you live without a meaning or purpose. You won't have a happy life and also a productive life. And you have to first have a hope or a wish, so if you work hard enough, your goal will achieve, and you will have a productive life. A nectar in a sieve means that although you are trying really hard to get something, its passes right through and you don't get it just like when you try really hard to use a sieve to get nectar. And also the quote means that if you don't have the motivation, then you don't have the reasons to do things and work.
I think it applies to life because everyone has a hope or wish to move on. For example, students have to have their goal of grades in school in order to work really hard. Or adults have to have a goal of raising salaries to work hard on their work too. This quote totally applies to my life because I always need a goal or else I think my life is miserable and useless.
