Famous quotes containing the words post, idol and/or career:
“Fear death?—to feel the fog in my throat,
The mist in my face,
When the snows begin, and the blasts denote

The post of the foe;
Where he stands, the Arch Fear in a visible form,
Yet the strong man must go:”

—John Berger (b. 1926)
“They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
