Famous quotes containing the words military and/or academy:
“The military mind is indeed a menace. Old-fashioned futurity that sees only men fighting and dying in smoke and fire; hears nothing more civilized than a cannonade; scents nothing but the stink of battle-wounds and blood.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
“The academy is not paradise. But learning is a place where paradise can be created.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
