Literary Career

Famous quotes containing the words literary and/or career:

“Society has really no graver interest than the well-being of the literary class.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
