Famous quotes containing the words college, world and/or series:

    Generally young men are regarded as radicals. This is a popular misconception. The most conservative persons I ever met are college undergraduates. The radicals are the men past middle life.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    Teach me half the gladness
    That thy brain must know,
    Such harmonious madness
    From my lips would flow,
    The world should listen then, as I am listening now.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    Autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)
