Quote by J. Michael Bishop

“I wrote a letter to Harvard, explaining that I was having difficulty deciding between it and the University of Pennsylvania. Could I come and visit? Years later, the dean of students at Harvard told me that my letter had been posted in the dean’s office for the amusement of the staff. Thus did I learn the measure of institutional arrogance.”

Abracadabra. Perhaps a child will remember the word and will bring the walls tumbling down.”
