Famous quotes containing the words writing and/or career:

    “I am writing for myself and strangers. This is the only
    way that I can do it. Everybody is a real one to me,
    everybody is like some one else too to me. No one of
    them that I know can want to know it and so I write
    for myself and strangers.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
    —Anne Roiphe (20th century)
