Famous quotes containing the words medical and/or career:
“They said I’d never get you back again.
I tell you what you’ll never really know:

that explained my brain will never be as true as these
struck leaves letting go.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
