Famous quotes containing the word scholarship:

    “Product of a myriad various minds and contending tongues, compact of obscure and minute association, a language has its own abundant and often recondite laws, in the habitual and summary recognition of which scholarship consists.”
    —Walter Pater (1839–1894)

    “The ceaseless, senseless demand for original scholarship in a number of fields, where only erudition is now possible, has led either to sheer irrelevancy, the famous knowing of more and more about less and less, or to the development of a pseudo- scholarship which actually destroys its object.”
    —Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    “Men have a respect for scholarship and learning greatly out of proportion to the use they commonly serve.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
