Famous quotes containing the words imperial and/or academy:

    “If you are ambitious of climbing up to the difficult, and in a manner inaccessible, summit of the Temple of Fame, your surest way is to leave on one hand the narrow path of Poetry, and follow the narrower track of Knight-Errantry, which in a trice may raise you to an imperial throne.”
    —Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)

    “The academy is not paradise. But learning is a place where paradise can be created.”
    —bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
