Famous quotes containing the words principal and/or conductors:

    “This place is the Devil, or at least his principal residence, they call it the University, but any other appellation would have suited it much better, for study is the last pursuit of the society; the Master eats, drinks, and sleeps, the Fellows drink, dispute and pun, the employments of the undergraduates you will probably conjecture without my description.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “The great actors are the luminous ones. They are the great conductors of the stage.”
    —Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)
