Famous quotes containing the words career and/or author:

    Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    The author himself is the best judge of his own performance; none has so deeply meditated on the subject; none is so sincerely interested in the event.
    Edward Gibbon (1737–1794)
