Clive Bloom

Famous quotes containing the words clive and/or bloom:

    It appears I am destined for something; I will live.
    —Robert Clive (1725–1774)

    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)
