Famous quotes containing the words open and/or university:
“Observe decorum, and it will open a path to morality.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Within the university ... you can study without waiting for any efficient or immediate result. You may search, just for the sake of searching, and try for the sake of trying. So there is a possibility of what I would call playing. It’s perhaps the only place within society where play is possible to such an extent.”
—Jacques Derrida (b. 1930)
