Bison Smith/career

Famous quotes containing the words smith and/or career:

    The human heart dares not stay away too long from that which hurt it most. There is a return journey to anguish that few of us are released from making.
    —Lillian Smith (1897–1966)

    I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.
    Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
