Roger Gould

Famous quotes containing the words roger gould, roger and/or gould:

    During our twenties...we act toward the new adulthood the way sociologists tell us new waves of immigrants acted on becoming Americans: we adopt the host culture’s values in an exaggerated and rigid fashion until we can rethink them and make them our own. Our idea of what adults are and what we’re supposed to be is composed of outdated childhood concepts brought forward.
    Roger Gould (20th century)

    Draw round beloved and bitter men,
    Draw round and raise a shout;
    The ghost of Roger Casement
    Is beating on the door.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Science is an integral part of culture. It’s not this foreign thing, done by an arcane priesthood. It’s one of the glories of the human intellectual tradition.
    —Stephen Jay Gould (b. 1941)
