We academic scientists move within a certain sphere, we can go on being useless up to a point, in the confidence that sooner or later some use will be found for our studies. The mathematician, of course, prides himself on being totally useless, but usually turns out to be the most useful of the lot. He finds the solution but he is not interested in what the problem is: sooner or later, someone will find the problem to which his solution is the answer Picture Quote #1

Academic freedom really means freedom of inquiry. To be able to probe according to one’s own interest, knowledge and conscience is the most important freedom the scholar has, and part of that process is to state its results Picture Quote #1

As an academic, this was not the lifestyle I had planned for myself. Now I see myself everywhere Picture Quote #1

Education in our family was not merely emphasized, it was our raison d’etre... In this family of accomplished scholars, I was to become the academic black sheep. I performed adequately at high school, but in comparison to my older brother, who set the record for the highest cumulative average for our high school, my performance was decidedly mediocre Picture Quote #1

I gloomily came to the ironic conclusion that if you take a highly intelligent person and give them the best possible, elite education, then you will most likely wind up with an academic who is completely impervious to reality Picture Quote #1

Sovereignty and the right to rule cannot be conferred on anyone no matter who... as a result of an academic discussion. Sovereignty is acquired by force and power and violence Picture Quote #1

In academic life you seek to state absolute truths; in politics you seek to accommodate truth to the facts around you Picture Quote #1

I want to ask heterosexual academic feminists to do some hard analytical and reflective work. To begin, I want to say to them: 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

Honestly, I didn’t have the patience for biology or history in an academic sense, but I always liked the kind of big questions Picture Quote #1

I love art, but I’m not an academic; I just like what I like Picture Quote #1

I was in three academic clubs, a huge book worm and the teacher’s pet. I was kind of an easy target for bullies Picture Quote #1

$If you walk along the street you will encounter a number of scientific problems. Of these, about 80 per cent are insoluble, while 19½ per cent are trivial. There is then perhaps half a per cent where skill, persistence, courage, creativity and originality can make a difference. It is always the task of the academic to swim in that half a per cent, asking the questions through which some progress can be made Picture Quote #1$

Academic achievement was something I’d always sought as a form of reward. Good grades pleased my parents, good grades pleased my teachers; you got them in order to sew up approval Picture Quote #1

I’m a vague, conjunctured personality, more made up of opinions and academic prepossessions than of human traits and red corpuscles Picture Quote #1

Complexity and profundity have been equated by the academic culture just as fame and significance have been conflated by the popular culture. Fame and significance have nothing to do with one another; and complexity and profundity have nothing to do with one another Picture Quote #1

I’ve tried to make a book that’s accessible to the ordinary, intelligent reader. Very often books that cover this kind of subject are written by academics, for academics. But I am not an academic Picture Quote #1

Landscape painting tends to fall under more academic controls. I must say I often like working within these controls. It gives me the feeling that I’m taking part in a noble tradition Picture Quote #1

The ability to draw from life determines the artist’s skill. This is why live drawing classes have always been at the top of the curriculum for properly structured academic workshops Picture Quote #1
