Heat Bloom

Famous quotes containing the words heat and/or bloom:

    Friendship is evanescent in every man’s experience, and remembered like heat lightning in past summers.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    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)
