Combined Scottish Universities

Famous quotes containing the words combined, scottish and/or universities:

    Thy knotted and combined locks to part,
    And each particular hair to stand on end,
    Like quills upon the fretful porpentine.

    Better wear out shoes than sheets.
    —18th-century Scottish proverb, collected in J. Kelly, Complete Collection of Scottish Proverbs (1721)

    We hear a great deal of lamentation these days about writers having all taken themselves to the colleges and universities where they live decorously instead of going out and getting firsthand information about life. The fact is that anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days.
    Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
