Famous quotes containing the word academy:

    “The academy is not paradise. But learning is a place where paradise can be created.”
    —bell hooks (b. c. 1955)

    “...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)

    “I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alike—and I don’t think there really is a distinction between the two—are always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats. And that being the case, any human being, male or female, of whatever status, who has a voice of her or his own, is not going to be liked.”
    —Harold Bloom (b. 1930)
