Famous quotes containing the words books, deborah and/or blum:

    All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse, and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    Q: What would have made a family and career easier for you?
    A: Being born a man.
    Anonymous Mother, U.S. physician and mother of four. As quoted in Women and the Work Family Dilemma, by Deborah J. Swiss and Judith P. Walker, ch. 2 (1993)

    When a woman is twenty, a child deforms her; when she is thirty, he preserves her; and when forty, he makes her young again.
    —Léon Blum (1872–1950)
