Free University Berlin

Famous quotes containing the words free, university and/or berlin:

“If I had not come to America, where I felt free to formulate tentatively insights at which I had empathically arrived, I would have accomplished very little. I would never have begun to publish, to teach, to undertake research. Because if one does not find an assenting echo to one’s ideas, if one is passed over, as I was in Vienna, then one cannot create. To create, after all, is to believe that what one says will count.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)

“It is the goal of the American university to be the brains of the republic.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

“I long to be out in the sun with no work to be done.”
—Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
