Arthur Cohn

I could give countless further examples that show why the honorable institution of the Academy deserves our support and gratitude.

Harold Bloom

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.
