Famous quotes containing the words british and/or academy:

    “I think there’s a difference between a gamble and a calculated risk.”
    —Edmund H. North, British screenwriter, and Lewis Gilbert. Captain Shepard (Kenneth More)

    “I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alike—and I don’t think there really is a distinction between the two—are always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats. And that being the case, any human being, male or female, of whatever status, who has a voice of her or his own, is not going to be liked.”
    —Harold Bloom (b. 1930)
