Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or career:
“You know lots of criticism is written by characters who are very academic and think it is a sign you are worthless if you make jokes or kid or even clown.

—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“I’ve been in the twilight of my career longer than most people have had their career.”
