Famous quotes containing the words nuclear, test, series, carried and/or site:

    “American universities are organized on the principle of the nuclear rather than the extended family. Graduate students are grimly trained to be technicians rather than connoisseurs. The old German style of universal scholarship has gone.”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    “The test of literature is, I suppose, whether we ourselves live more intensely for the reading of it.”
    —Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)

    “As Cuvier could correctly describe a whole animal by the contemplation of a single bone, so the observer who has thoroughly understood one link in a series of incidents should be able to accurately state all the other ones, both before and after.”
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    “Give this to Clemenza. I want reliable people, people who won’t get carried away. I mean, we’re not murderers, in spite of what this undertaker says.”
    —Mario Puzo (b. 1920)

    “It is not menstrual blood per se which disturbs the imagination—unstanchable as that red flood may be—but rather the albumen in the blood, the uterine shreds, placental jellyfish of the female sea. This is the chthonian matrix from which we rose. We have an evolutionary revulsion from slime, our site of biologic origins. Every month, it is woman’s fate to face the abyss of time and being, the abyss which is herself.”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
