Shadow Academy

Famous quotes containing the words shadow and/or academy:

    “Suddenly I’m not half the girl
    I used to be.
    There’s a shadow hanging over me . . .
    From me to you out of my electric devil....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alike—and I don’t think there really is a distinction between the two—are always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats. And that being the case, any human being, male or female, of whatever status, who has a voice of her or his own, is not going to be liked.”
    —Harold Bloom (b. 1930)
