    “It is easy to carp at colleges, and the college, if he will wait for it, will have its own turn. Genius exists there also, but will not answer a call of a committee of the House of Commons. It is rare, precious, eccentric, and darkling.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “In not having an appointment at Harvard, I’m in the company of a great many people whose work I admire tremendously, in particular women of color.”
    —Catharine MacKinnon (b. 1946)
