Central Pillar

Famous quotes containing the words central and/or pillar:

“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)

“Fame’s pillar here, at last, we set,
Out-during marble, brass, or jet,”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
