Famous quotes containing the words education and/or career:
“Very likely education does not make very much difference.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.”
