University of Maryland School of Law : Catalog, 1988-1989

"The test of a first-rate intelligence
is the ability to hold
two opposed ideas in the
mind at the same time, and
still retain the ability to function.
One should, for example,
be able to see that things are
hopeless and yet be determined
to make them otherwise."
F Scott Fitzgerald
"No man has earned the right
to intellectual ambition until
he has learned to lay his
course by a star which he has
never seen—to dig by the divining
rod for springs which
he may never reach. In saying
this, I point to that which will
make your study heroic. For I
say to you in all sadness of
conviction, that to think great
thoughts you must be heroes
as well as idealists. Only
when you have worked
alone—when you have felt
around you a black gulf of
solitude more isolating than
that which surrounds the
dying man, and in hope and
in despair have trusted to
your own unshaken will then
—only will you have
achieved."
Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes, Jr.
