Famous quotes containing the words late and/or career:
“One who does not study hard when young will find it too late for regret when old.”
—Chinese proverb.
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
