Famous quotes containing the word professions:

“But this place is too cold for hell. I’ll devil-porter it no further; I had thought to have let in some of all professions that go the primrose way to th’ everlasting bonfire.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“By now, legions of tireless essayists and op-ed columnists have dressed feminists down for making such a fuss about entering the professions and earning equal pay that everyone’s attention has been distracted from the important contributions of mothers working at home. This judgment presumes, of course, that prior to the resurgence of feminism in the ‘70s, housewives and mothers enjoyed wide recognition and honor. This was not exactly the case.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
