Famous quotes containing the words imperial and/or university:

    “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)

    “If not us, who? If not now, when?”
    —Slogan by Czech university students in Prague, November 1989. quoted in Observer (London, Nov. 26, 1989)
