Mary Robinson/career in Seanad %c3%a9ireann

Famous quotes containing the words robinson and/or career:

    He comes unfailing for the loan
    We give and then forget;
    He comes, and probably for years
    Will he be coming yet,—
    Familiar as an old mistake,
    And futile as regret.
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    “Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.
    Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
