Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or students:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when its more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (18941963)
“A complacent old Don of Divinity
Used to boast of his daughters virginity:
They must have been dawdlin,
The students of Magdalen
It couldnt have happened at Trinity.”
—Anonymous.
