Famous quotes containing the words grocery and/or career:
“Slim inquirer, while the old fathers sleep
you are reworking their soil, you have
a grocery store there down under the earth....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
