Famous quotes containing the words fame and/or academy:
“I have made a very rude translation of the Seven against Thebes, and Pindar too I have looked at, and wish he was better worth translating. I believe even the best things are not equal to their fame. Perhaps it would be better to translate fame itself,—or is not that what the poets themselves do? However, I have not done with Pindar yet.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The academy is not paradise. But learning is a place where paradise can be created.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
