Famous quotes containing the words early, career and/or marriage:

    “Many a woman shudders ... at the terrible eclipse of those intellectual powers which in early life seemed prophetic of usefulness and happiness, hence the army of martyrs among our married and unmarried women who, not having cultivated a taste for science, art or literature, form a corps of nervous patients who make fortunes for agreeable physicians ...”
    —Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)

    “A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
    —Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)

    “For the longest time, marriage has had a guilty conscience about itself. Should we believe it?—Yes, we should believe it.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
