Famous quotes containing the words central and/or position:
“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)
“To be free in an age like ours, one must be in a position of authority. That in itself would be enough to make me ambitious.”
—Ernest Renan (1823–1892)
