Famous quotes containing the words university, faculty, humanities, social and/or sciences:

    “Priests are not men of the world; it is not intended that they should be; and a University training is the one best adapted to prevent their becoming so.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    “A faculty for idleness implies a catholic appetite and a strong sense of personal identity.”
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    “There is no true expertise in the humanities without knowing all of the humanities. Art is a vast, ancient interconnected web-work, a fabricated tradition. Overconcentration on any one point is a distortion.”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    “Without metaphor the handling of general concepts such as culture and civilization becomes impossible, and that of disease and disorder is the obvious one for the case in point. Is not crisis itself a concept we owe to Hippocrates? In the social and cultural domain no metaphor is more apt than the pathological one.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    “Criticism is a study by which men grow important and formidable at very small expense. The power of invention has been conferred by nature upon few, and the labour of learning those sciences which may, by mere labour, be obtained, is too great to be willingly endured; but every man can exert some judgment as he has upon the works of others; and he whom nature has made weak, and idleness keeps ignorant, may yet support his vanity by the name of critic.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
