Famous quotes containing the words career and/or recognition:

    “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 person who designed a robot that could act and think as well as your four-year-old would deserve a Nobel Prize. But there is no public recognition for bringing up several truly human beings.”
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)
