Famous quotes containing the words divine, word and/or academy:
“But misery still delights to trace
Its ‘semblance in another’s case.
No voice divine the storm allay’d,
No light propitious shone;
When, snatch’d from all effectual aid,
We perish’d, each alone:
But I beneath a rougher sea,
And whelm’d in deeper gulphs than he.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
“Must! Is must a word to be addressed to princes? Little man, little man! thy father, if he had been alive, durst not have used that word.”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
“The academy is not paradise. But learning is a place where paradise can be created.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
