Famous quotes containing the words career and/or honors:
“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)
“He most honors my style who learns under it to destroy the teacher.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
