Famous quotes containing the words career and/or author:

    “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)

    “I hate the actor and audience business. An author should be in among the crowd, kicking their shins or cheering them on to some mischief or merriment.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
