Famous quotes containing the words adam, university and/or list:

“Within the university ... you can study without waiting for any efficient or immediate result. You may search, just for the sake of searching, and try for the sake of trying. So there is a possibility of what I would call playing. It’s perhaps the only place within society where play is possible to such an extent.”
—Jacques Derrida (b. 1930)
“A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.”
