Famous quotes containing the words university and/or positions:
“The most important function of the university in an age of reason is to protect reason from itself.”
—Allan Bloom (1930–1992)
“... liberal intellectuals ... tend to have a classical theory of politics, in which the state has a monopoly of power; hoping that those in positions of authority may prove to be enlightened men, wielding power justly, they are natural, if cautious, allies of the “establishment.””
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
