Won Academy Awards

Famous quotes containing the words won and/or academy:

“A girl loves most often because she is loved,Mnot from choice on her part. She is won by the flattery of the man’s desire.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

“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)
