Famous quotes containing the words college and/or career:

    “Thirty-five years ago, when I was a college student, people wrote letters. The businessman who read, the lawyer who traveled; the dressmaker in evening school, my unhappy mother, our expectant neighbor: all conducted an often large and varied correspondence. It was the accustomed way of ordinarily educated people to occupy the world beyond their own small and immediate lives.”
    —Vivian Gornick (b. 1935)

    “I’ve been in the twilight of my career longer than most people have had their career.”
    —Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
