Famous quotes containing the words marshall and/or academy:

    Knowing how beleaguered working mothers truly are—knowing because I am one of them—I am still amazed at how one need only say “I work” to be forgiven all expectation, to be assigned almost a handicapped status that no decent human being would burden further with demands. “I work” has become the universally accepted excuse, invoked as an all-purpose explanation for bowing out, not participating, letting others down, or otherwise behaving inexcusably.
    —Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

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