    “In a large university, there are as many deans and executive heads as there are schools and departments. Their relations to one another are intricate and periodic; in fact, “galaxy” is too loose a term: it is a planetarium of deans with the President of the University as a central sun. One can see eclipses, inner systems, and oppositions.”
    —Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)

    “This is D.J., Disc Jockey to American turning off. Vietnam, hot dam.”
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    “I dreamed as in my bed I lay,
    All night’s fathomless wisdom come,
    That I had shorn my locks away
    And laid them on Love’s lettered tomb:
    But something bore them out of sight
    In a great tumult of the air.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
