Academic Quotes

As an academic, what do you have? You have the quality of your work and the integrity with which you do it Picture Quote #1

I’d somehow always thought of the classics of literature as something apart from me, something to do with academic life and not something you enjoyed Picture Quote #1

I love mystery novels... I love seeing the dramas played out in academic departments, particularly English departments. I started reading these when I was going up for tenure Picture Quote #1

When I graduated from high school, I had artistic and academic scholarships, and I was trying to figure out what to do. I decided to audition for the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, Julliard, and the National Institute of Dramatic Arts in Sydney, Australia Picture Quote #1

If you’re going to equalize the academic playing field, you’ve got to get the kids in early childhood programs Picture Quote #1

There was little in my early life to indicate that an interest in biology would become the passion of my academic career. In fact, there was little to suggest I would have an academic career Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t that academic, but I always made sure I was earning money. I never wanted to put all my eggs in one basket. Even when I started doing music, my parents were like, ‘You need to work; you can’t just live off music.’ I always knew that. So I worked until I knew I was going to be financially okay Picture Quote #1

I was a huge bookworm, total nerd, so I was a victim in middle school. I was in three academic clubs, so I was an easy target Picture Quote #1

I didn’t even have a clear idea of why I wanted to go to Oxford - apart from the fact I had fallen in love with the architecture. It certainly wasn’t out of some great sense of academic or intellectual achievement. In many ways, my education only began after I’d left university Picture Quote #1

In school, I guess I was a difficult, know-it-all type of student... I was always complaining that music education was too academic Picture Quote #1

The objective of education should be impressed on the children’s minds. The academic education of today is shallow and useless because it has no value orientation Picture Quote #1

Music, to me, was - is - representative of everything I like most in life. It’s beautiful and fun, but very rigorous. If you wanted to be good you had to work like crazy. It was a real relationship between effort and reward. My musical life experiences were just as important to me, in terms of forming my development, as my political experiences or my academic life Picture Quote #1

Even though a high IQ is no guarantee of prosperity, prestige, or happiness in life, our schools and our culture fixate on academic abilities, ignoring the emotional intelligence that also matters immensely for our personal destiny Picture Quote #1

I am among the few who continue to draw after childhood is ended, continuing and perfecting childhood drawing - without the traditional interruption of academic training Picture Quote #1

In the end, the humanities can only be defended by stressing how indispensable they are; and this means insisting on their vital role in the whole business of academic learning, rather than protesting that, like some poor relation, they don’t cost much to be housed Picture Quote #1

I like roles that are on the extreme ends of the spectrum, and there’s special appeal in exploring these slightly forgotten plays that people might think of as subjects for academic term papers instead of live theater Picture Quote #1

We want to build the most entrepreneurial postsecondary system in North America. That’s why we’re pleased that academic institutions, like Algonquin College, University of Ottawa and Carlton University are working to make that happen through the Campus-Linked Accelerator program. They are helping nurture our business visionaries and igniting their entrepreneurial spirit, helping them to succeed and to expand our economy Picture Quote #1

In academic circles, especially, I was criticized for lacking morals, values, and ethics. I’m feeding that angry feminist reading of my work Picture Quote #1

Free will, determinism, meaning, existence, etc. are academic problems, not problems in life Picture Quote #1

But one did not do feminist theory, as such, in those days, not only because male academic discourse did not recognize such a term, but especially because the womens movement did not either Picture Quote #1

I’d come into town from the bush - after 28 years of field work in natural systems - and become an academic. So I turned my attention to humans, much as I had to possums in the forests Picture Quote #1

I despise the phony, fancy-pants rhetoric of professors aping jargon-filled European locutions - which have blighted academic film criticism for over 30 years Picture Quote #1

I was quite academic, quite geeky when I was a kid. I was more interested in going to school than I was in becoming a film star or something Picture Quote #1

I’m not sure that finding a husband at university made me any less of a feminist or an academic. I still soaked up Susan Faludi; I still read Doris Lessing. But I did it at the same time I met someone who I felt was my soulmate Picture Quote #1

After my stellar first grade academic achievements, I continued to perform well in the city primary schools - except for penmanship, which was not my forte Picture Quote #1

Even academic elites are drawn to the figure of the murderer, which has long been a focus of attention for psychiatrists, sociologists, and criminologists Picture Quote #1

A society that thinks the choice between ways of living is just a choice between equally eligible ‘lifestyles’ turns universities into academic cafeterias offering junk food for the mind Picture Quote #1

I spent my thirties living out of boxes and moving every six months to a year. It was my cloud period: I just wandered like a cloud for ten years, following the food supply. I was a hunter, gatherer, an academic migrant Picture Quote #1

Once you start worrying about a national football championship, then you begin to worry about getting the quality of athlete, and the numbers needed, to win a national championship. And that worry leads to pressure to compromise academic standards to admit those athletes Picture Quote #1

I’ve been doing the academic side of music and the rock side of music in conjunction, basically, since I was in fourth grade Picture Quote #1
