Famous quotes containing the words university and/or act:
“It is in the nature of allegory, as opposed to symbolism, to beg the question of absolute reality. The allegorist avails himself of a formal correspondence between ideas and things, both of which he assumes as given; he need not inquire whether either sphere is real or whether, in the final analysis, reality consists in their interaction.”
—Charles, Jr. Feidelson, U.S. educator, critic. Symbolism and American Literature, ch. 1, University of Chicago Press (1953)
“Think of those barren places where men gather
To act in the terrible name of rectitude,
Of acned shame, punks pride, muscle or turf,
The bullys thin superiority.”
—Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)
