Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or clubs:
“You know lots of criticism is written by characters who are very academic and think it is a sign you are worthless if you make jokes or kid or even clown. I wouldn’t kid Our Lord if he was on the cross. But I would attempt a joke with him if I ran into him chasing the money changers out of the temple.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“As night returns bringing doubts
That swarm around the sleeper’s head
But are fended off with clubs and knives ...”
