Famous quotes containing the words baldwin and/or university:
“No one is more dangerous than he who imagines himself pure in heart: for his purity, by definition, is unassailable.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“It is in the nature of allegory, as opposed to symbolism, to beg the question of absolute reality. The allegorist avails himself of a formal correspondence between “ideas” and “things,” both of which he assumes as given; he need not inquire whether either sphere is “real” or whether, in the final analysis, reality consists in their interaction.”
—Charles, Jr. Feidelson, U.S. educator, critic. Symbolism and American Literature, ch. 1, University of Chicago Press (1953)
