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

    In the course of twenty crowded years one parts with many illusions. I did not wish to lose the early ones. Some memories are realities, and are better than anything that can ever happen to one again.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    But poor devil, poor devil, he’s best gone out of a life where he has to ride a rocking horse to find a winner.
    —Anthony PĂ©lissier. Anthony PĂ©lissier. Oscar (Ronald Squire)

    Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.
    Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
