Famous quotes containing the words famous, professors and/or students:

    “Let the famous not denounce fame. Far from being empty and meaningless, it fills those it touches with divine power.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    “To the degree that respect for professors ... has risen in our society, respect for writers has fallen. Today the professorial intellect has achieved its highest public standing since the world began, while writers have come to be called “men of letters,” by which is meant people who are prevented by some obscure infirmity from becoming competent journalists.”
    —Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    “We are students of words: we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation-rooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
