Famous quotes containing the words newspaper and/or career:

    A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.
    Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
