Famous quotes containing the words major and/or achievements:

    “I have not had major experience of talking with people once pronounced brain-dead, but I think we could be safe in saying he did not have great zip.”
    —Sir Howard Smith (b. 1919)

    “Fathers are still considered the most important “doers” in our culture, and in most families they are that. Girls see them as the family authorities on careers, and so fathers’ encouragement and counsel is important to them. When fathers don’t take their daughters’ achievements and plans seriously, girls sometimes have trouble taking themselves seriously.”
    —Stella Chess (20th century)
