Academy Prize Event

Famous quotes containing the words academy, prize and/or event:

“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)

“Knowing I loved my books, he furnished me
From mine own library with volumes that
I prize above my dukedom.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“An event has happened, upon which it is difficult to speak, and impossible to be silent.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
