Academia
Leo Botstein
At most, college presidents are running something that is somewhere between a faltering corporation and a hotel.
Stagnation
Robert Allen
... the vast bulk of humanity isn’t nice. They aren’t even really nasty, they’re just a heap of disorganized appetites that are struggling to be satisfied. It’s not hard to see why some of our writers and philosophers have found humanity a pretty dismal prospect.
Love
Jean Anouilh
Oh, love is real enough, you will find it some day, but it has one arch-enemy – and that is life.
