Famous quotes containing the words world, junior and/or ice:

    “I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alike—and I don’t think there really is a distinction between the two—are always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats. And that being the case, any human being, male or female, of whatever status, who has a voice of her or his own, is not going to be liked.”
    —Harold Bloom (b. 1930)

    “Never burn bridges. Today’s junior prick, tomorrow’s senior partner.”
    —Kevin Wade, U.S. screenwriter, and Mike Nichols. Katharine Parker (Sigourney Weaver)

    “Will lovely, lively, virginal today
    Shatter for us with a wing’s drunken blow
    This hard, forgotten lake haunted in snow
    By the sheer ice of flocks not flown away!”
    —Stéphane Mallarmé (1842–1898)
