Famous quotes containing the words professional and/or recognition:

    “I trust it will not be giving away professional secrets to say that many readers would be surprised, perhaps shocked, at the questions which some newspaper editors will put to a defenseless woman under the guise of flattery.”
    —Kate Chopin (1851–1904)

    “The person who designed a robot that could act and think as well as your four-year-old would deserve a Nobel Prize. But there is no public recognition for bringing up several truly human beings.”
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)
