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

    “Early rising is no pleasure; early drinking’s just the measure.”
    —François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    “The State has but one face for me: that of the police. To my eyes, all of the State’s ministries have this single face, and I cannot imagine the ministry of culture other than as the police of culture, with its prefect and commissioners.”
    —Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985)

    “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.”
    —Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
