Famous quotes containing the words talent and/or supported:
“The talent of insinuation is more useful than that of persuasion, as everybody is open to insinuation, but scarce any to persuasion.”

“I grew up confidently expecting to have a profession and earn my own living, and also confidently expecting to be married and have children. It was fifty-fifty with me. I was just as passionately determined to have children as I was to have a career. And my mother was the triumphant answer to all doubts as to the success of this double role. From my earliest memory she had more than half supported the family and yet she was supremely a mother.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
