Famous quotes containing the words academy and/or award:
“...I have come to make distinctions between what I call the academy and literature, the moral equivalents of church and God. The academy may lie, but literature tries to tell the truth.”
—Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)
“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
