Famous quotes containing the words political, academic and/or posts:

    “Even the poor student studies and is taught only political economy, while that economy of living which is synonymous with philosophy is not even sincerely professed in our colleges. The consequence is, that while he is reading Adam Smith, Ricardo, and Say, he runs his father in debt irretrievably.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I was so grateful to be independent of the academic establishment. I thought, how awful it would be to have my future hinge on such people and such decisions.”
    —Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)

    “Get posts and letters, and make friends with speed;
    Never so few, and never yet more need.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
