Visiting Professor

Famous quotes containing the words visiting and/or professor:

    “I have no connections here; only gusty collisions,
    rootless seedlings forced into bloom, that collapse.
    ...
    I am the Visiting Poet: a real unicorn,
    a wind-up plush dodo, a wax museum of the Movement.
    People want to push the buttons and see me glow.”
    —Marge Piercy (b. 1936)

    “I was now at a university in New York, a professor of existential psychology with the not inconsiderable thesis that magic, dread, and the perception of death were the roots of motivation.”
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
