Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or institutions:

“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.

—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

“The whole history of civilisation is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards.”
