Famous quotes containing the words major, wins and/or flat:

    “Our major universities are now stuck with an army of pedestrian, toadying careerists, Fifties types who wave around Sixties banners to conceal their record of ruthless, beaverlike tunneling to the top.”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    “I saw my lady weep,
    And Sorrow proud to be advanced so
    In those fair eyes where all perfections keep.
    Her face was full of woe;

    But such a woe, believe me, as wins more hearts
    Than Mirth can do with her enticing parts.”
    —Unknown. I Saw My Lady Weep (l. 1–6)

    “We may divide characters into flat and round.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
