Won Academy

Famous quotes containing the words won and/or academy:

“If a man has a talent and cannot use it, he has failed. If he has a talent and uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he has a talent and learns somehow to use the whole of it, he has gloriously succeeded, and won a satisfaction and a triumph few men ever know.”
—Thomas Wolfe (1900–1938)

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