Quote:   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.  
Author:   Harold Bloom British Professor, Author  


Quote:   There is but one step from the Academy to the Fad.  
Author:   Samuel Butler 1612-1680, British Poet, Satirist  


Quote:   If poetry is like an orgasm, an academic can be likened to someone who studies the passion-stains on the bedsheets.  
Author:   Irving Layton 1912-, Canadian Poet  


Quote:   A serious problem in America is the gap between academe and the mass media, which is our culture. Professors of humanities, with all their leftist fantasies, have little direct knowledge of American life and no impact whatever on public policy.  
Author:   Camille Paglia 1947-, American Author, Critic, Educator  


Quote:   Art is not to be taught in Academies. It is what one looks at, not what one listens to, that makes the artist. The real schools should be the streets.  
Author:   Oscar Wilde 1856-1900, British Author, Wit  


Quote:   In universities and intellectual circles, academics can guarantee themselves popularity -- or, which is just as satisfying, unpopularity -- by being opinionated rather than by being learned.  
Author:   A. N. Wilson

Quote:   To be happy is to be able to become aware of oneself without fright.  
Author:   Walter Benjamin 1982-1940, German Critic, Philosopher  


Quote:   To see, to hear, means nothing. To recognize (or not to recognize) means everything. Between what I do recognize and what I do not recognize there stands myself. And what I do not recognize I shall continue not to recognize.  
Author:   Andre Breton 1989-1966, French Surrealist  


Quote:   The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.  
Author:   Henry Miller 1891-1980, American Author  


Quote:   Open-mindedness should not be fostered because, as Scripture teaches, Truth is great and will prevail, nor because, as Milton suggests, Truth will always win in a free and open encounter. It should be fostered for its own sake.  
Author:   Richard Rorty 1931-, American Philosopher

Quote:   Nothing so much prevents our being natural as the desire to seem so.  
Author:   Francois De La Rochefoucauld 1613-1680, French Classical Writer  


Quote:   To establish yourself in the world a person must do all they can to appear already established.  
Author:   Francois De La Rochefoucauld 1613-1680, French Classical Writer  


Quote:   The beggar is the only person in the universe not obliged to study appearance.  
Author:   Charles Lamb 1775-1834, British Essayist, Critic  


Quote:   The most common error made in matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one's soul shine through. If there are places on your body where this is a possibility, you are not attractive -- you are leaking.  
Author:   Fran Lebowitz 1951-, American Journalist  


Quote:   You're only has good as your last haircut.  
Author:   Susan Lee  


Quote:   Every person is responsible for his own looks after 40.

Quote:   You can lease the peace of mind You bought a mask, I put it on. You never thought to ask me If I wear it when you're gone  
Author:   Sisters Of Mercy  


Quote:   What I have to say is far more important than how long my eyelashes are.  
Author:   Alanis Morissette Canadian Singer  


Quote:   A good man often appears gauche simply because he does not take advantage of the myriad mean little chances of making himself look stylish. Preferring truth to form, he is not constantly at work upon the fatade of his appearance.  
Author:   Iris Murdoch 1919-, British Novelist, Philosopher
