Famous quotes containing the words bare and/or career:
“Out of the first warmth of spring,
And out of the shine of the menlocks,
Among the bare and crooked trees,
She found a helping from the cold,
Like a meaning in nothingness....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
