When I was a sophomore at USC, I was a socialist, pretty much to the left. But not when I left the university. I quickly got wise. I’d read about what had happened to Russia in 1917 when the Communists took over.

So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don’t even know that fire is hot.

Putin goes to bed at night knowing he can break all the rules, and the West will follow all the rules.

Cambridge is one of the best universities in the world, especially in my field.

I didn’t go to university. Didn’t even finish A-levels. But I have sympathy for those who did.

Russia isn’t going to start a war. They can’t afford it. I think Mr. Putin can be dealt with if we stop screaming at him. You can work with the guy. You just have to know who he is.

I truly believe the things Notre Dame stands for.

A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.

I’m glad I’m not Brezhnev. Being the Russian leader in the Kremlin. You never know if someone’s tape recording what you say.

I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.

If you don’t know how great this country is, I know someone who does; Russia.

The United States supports a strong, united Ukraine with productive and peaceful relationships with both the East and the West, with both Russia and Europe.

I’ve known for years that the university underserved the community, because we assumed that university education is for 18- to 22-year-olds, which is a proposition that’s so absurd it is absolutely mind-boggling that anyone ever conceptualized it. Why wouldn’t you take university courses throughout your entire life?

If you look back at the history of the twentieth century, Germany alone had practically destroyed Russia several times.

I have no doubt that Russia will and should remain a major source of energy supplies for Europe and the world.

Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

I trust Russia and China and Iran and North Korea like I trust a Jussie Smollett police report.

Shinji Kagawa is one of the best players in the world, and he now plays 20 minutes at Manchester United – on the left wing! My heart breaks. Really, I have tears in my eyes. Central midfield is Shinji’s best role.

My freshman and sophomore years in high school, I spent a lot of time trying to get back on the right track. I was arrested multiple times by the time I was 16, so I had a little harder time trying to adjust like a lot of us do in high school.

A University should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning.

Reactionaries often describe both Marx and Lenin as theorists, without taking into consideration that their utopias inspired Russia and China – the two countries called upon to lead a new world which will allow for human survival if imperialism does not first unleash a criminal, exterminating war.

Everybody has forgotten that Russia helped start the Second World War.

‚Evil men have no songs.‘ How is it that the Russians have songs?

I started writing as a child. But I didn’t think of myself actually writing until I was in college. And I had gone to Africa as a sophomore or something – no, maybe junior – and wrote a book of poems. And that was my beginning. I published that book.

No man should escape our universities without knowing how little he knows.

After all manner of professors have done their best for us, the place we are to get knowledge is in books. The true university of these days is a collection of books.

Karl Marx was in favor of socialist and communist-socialist revolutions, but he had a pretty nuanced view about it.

My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you I just signed legislation which outlaws Russia forever. The bombing begins in five minutes.

Take it from someone who fled the Iron Curtain: I know what happens when you give the Russians a green light.

Foe means enemy. Now, will we have differences of opinion with the Russians? Yes. Will they get mad at us from time to time, and we get mad at them? That’s part of the normal diplomatic relations.

You don’t go to Notre Dame to learn something; you go to Notre Dame to be somebody.

As a small child in England, I had this dream of going to Africa. We didn’t have any money and I was a girl, so everyone except my mother laughed at it. When I left school, there was no money for me to go to university, so I went to secretarial college and got a job.

We’ve got to keep our eye on what’s happening with Russia and North Korea. We cannot lose sight of domestic policy, either. Healthcare. Immigration. Climate change.

The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.

The attitude of the West and of Russia towards a crisis like Ukraine is diametrically different. The West is trying to establish the legality of any established border. For Russia, Ukraine is part of the Russian patrimony.

Religion, any religion, no matter what sort of wonderful religion, never be universal. So now education is universal, so we have to sort of find ways and means through education system, from kindergarten up to university level, to make awareness these good things, the values, inner values.

The true university of these days is a collection of books.

What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books.

I went to Princeton specifically to study physics.

So long as our Corps fields such Marines, America has nothing to fear from tyrants, be they Fascists, Communists or Tyrants with Medieval Ideology. For we serve in a Corps with no institutional confusion about our purpose: To fight! To fight well!

I don’t believe in colleges and universities.

When I look back on what I did for the Left, I’m in a small way quite proud of some of it – I only wish I’d done more.

In one thousand years of Russia’s existence, its first popular national election ever to be held occurred in June 1991. Six days later, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir performed in Moscow!

If you want to find the source of much of the music of modern day Russia, you will find it in the incredible compositions of that crazed lunatic Berlioz.

I was tremendously fortunate to be alive and a lawyer, working at a university so I had more flexible hours, when the women’s movement was coming alive and when it became possible to argue successfully for a view of the equal protection clause that included women.
