Famous quotes containing the words howard and/or university:
“It is better to be true to what you believe, though that be wrong, than to be false to what you believe, even if that belief is correct.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
“In bourgeois society, the French and the industrial revolution transformed the authorization of political space. The political revolution put an end to the formalized hierarchy of the ancien regimé.... Concurrently, the industrial revolution subverted the social hierarchy upon which the old political space was based. It transformed the experience of society from one of vertical hierarchy to one of horizontal class stratification.”
—Donald M. Lowe, U.S. historian, educator. History of Bourgeois Perception, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1982)
