Famous quotes containing the words mall and/or professional:

    “A father ... knows exactly what those boys at the mall have in their depraved little minds because he once owned such a depraved little mind himself. In fact, if he thinks enough about the plans that he used to have for young girls, the father not only will support his wife in keeping their daughter home but he might even run over to the mall and have a few of those boys arrested.”
    —Bill Cosby (20th century)

    “... a supportive husband is an absolute requirement for professional women.... He is something she looks for, and when she finds him, she marries him.”
    —Alice S. Rossi (b. 1922)
