Famous quotes containing the words thomas, college, information and/or sciences:

    All, men my madmen, the unwholesome wind
    With whistler’s cough contages, time on track
    Shapes in a cinder death; love for his trick,
    Happy Cadaver’s hunger as you take
    The kissproof world.
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Mrs. Pilletti: This girl is a college graduate.
    Catherine: They’re the worst. College girls are one step from the street, I tell you.
    Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)

    In the information age, you don’t teach philosophy as they did after feudalism. You perform it. If Aristotle were alive today he’d have a talk show.
    Timothy Leary (b. 1920)

    The well-educated young woman of 1950 will blend art and sciences in a way we do not dream of; the science will steady the art and the art will give charm to the science. This young woman will marry—yes, indeed, but she will take her pick of men, who will by that time have begun to realize what sort of men it behooves them to be.
    Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
