Famous quotes containing the words literary and/or career:
“In general I do not draw well with literary men—not that I dislike them but I never know what to say to them after I have praised their last publication.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“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.”
