Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or upper:
“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)
““All men live in suffering
I know as few can know,
Whether they take the upper road
Or stay content on the low....””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
