Postmodernism is an academic theory, originating in academia with an academic elite, not in the world of women and men, where feminist theory is rooted.

Catharine MacKinnon

Bastions of free-flowing discussion with civil exchange are the academic ideal. But during my time in academia, it became increasingly clear that prisons of political correctness with peer-engendered public shaming are now the academic reality.

Kayleigh McEnany

Academic writing you have to get right. Fiction you have to get plausible. And there's a world of difference. In a way, if someone says this didn't feel exactly right, I don't care. But that is not okay to do in academia - it's not about feeling. You want to establish a pretty solid case. So did this allow me to express things differently? Absolutely. Another thing I've been thinking about as an academic: our writing style is expository, and in fiction, withholding information matters quite a bit. Withholding things in academia - there's no place for that!

Elliott Colla

It's important to be true to the events, but the most important thing is to get to the essence of the experience. Not to be bogged down in an academic way by a notion of the truth. First of all, the truth is an illusive and spurious concept.

Mike Leigh

We are not training crafts people as we used to do. We're not giving people the chance to learn. Education has become very academic. There's nothing wrong with academic for some people, but not all.

David Linley

Academia is a rarified culture, especially an Ivy League academic background.

Paul Giamatti

That's why I love improvisational theater so much - you do it [scene] once and then it's done. You don't get bogged down with a lot of preplanning and repetition. If I do something and it gets a laugh, I don't want to do it again. Why bother? I'm just repeating myself. It's boring.

Amy Sedaris

Though I have friends aplenty in academia, I don't operate within the academic system myself.

Eliezer Yudkowsky

I had been an academic all my life. As academics, you tend to believe the smartest people are in academia.

Sebastian Thrun

I don't consider myself attractive. I'm an academic, and in academia, people will write you off if you look younger.

Alissa Nutting

From education to broadband, from building roads and bridges to supporting the military, Barack Obama is delivering for North Carolina. And he is delivering for America. A growing middle class is the foundation for a strong America.

Bev Perdue

Ananya is a very happy soul, who won't get bogged down by insecurities. I have told her to not imitate anyone.

Chunky Pandey

There's actually a wonderful quote from Stanley Fish, who is sometimes very polemical and with whom I don't always agree. He writes, "Freedom of speech is not an academic value. Accuracy of speech is an academic value; completeness of speech is an academic value; relevance of speech is an academic value. Each of these is directly related to the goal of academic inquiry: getting a matter of fact right."
