Academic Halls

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or halls:

    “You know lots of criticism is written by characters who are very academic and think it is a sign you are worthless if you make jokes or kid or even clown. I wouldn’t kid Our Lord if he was on the cross. But I would attempt a joke with him if I ran into him chasing the money changers out of the temple.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “I’ve tried to open the door. My knock isn’t that big a sound. But it is like the knock in “The Wizard of Oz.” It set up this echo through the halls until it was heard by everyone.”
    —Shannon Faulkner (b. c. 1975)
