Won Academy Awards

Famous quotes containing the words won and/or academy:

“Great things are won by great dangers.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)

“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)
