Johns Hopkins Institutions

Famous quotes containing the words johns hopkins, johns, hopkins and/or institutions:

    An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.
    George Bluestone, U.S. educator, critic. “The Limits of the Novel and the Limits of the Film,” Novels Into Film, Johns Hopkins Press (1957)

    I think every woman’s entitled to a middle husband she can forget.
    —Adela Rogers St. Johns (b. 1893)

    I wake and feel the fell of dark, not day.
    What hours, O what black hours we have spent
    This night!
    —Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    You see how this House of Commons has begun to verify all the ill prophecies that were made of it—low, vulgar, meddling with everything, assuming universal competency, and flattering every base passion—and sneering at everything noble refined and truly national. The direct tyranny will come on by and by, after it shall have gratified the multitude with the spoil and ruin of the old institutions of the land.
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
