The darkest days in my life after the war, after the war, was when I discovered that the ... most of the members and commanders of the Einsatz group that were doing the killings, not even in gas chambers, but killing with machine guns, had college degrees from German universities and PhD's and MD's.

I recently heard of someone studying the ellipsis (or three dots) for a PhD. And, I have to say, I was horrified.

I was very lucky. I was just finishing my PhD at Cambridge in 1981. This opportunity came up because whaling was drawing to an end. There was the prospect of a moratorium, and one of the arguments that was brought up, especially by Japanese whalers, was that, if we didn't have whaling, we would know nothing of whales. All the science depends on having dead animals, they argued, so that's one of the benefits of the whaling industry. — Hal Whitehead

I am certainly far more inspired by the community of women than they are inspired. — Michaela Angela Davis

I would tell myself to get more sleep! Believe it or not, I wrote the book while finishing my PhD in English literature.

The time between Bachelor's degree and a PhD, the median time is over 11 years. So then you're still only on a tenure ladder, you're not tenured. So it generally takes 6 to 8 years after that to get tenure. So that's a very long period of what's essentially apprenticeship, of insecurity. — Louis Menand

Is the professor who insists we read Ernest Hemingway again instead of Gertrude Stein "obsessing"?

It didn't matter how much time or effort I put in. — Mary J. Miller
Some PhD physicists write software or work for hedge funds, but physics still has a problem with having very smart people but not enough opportunities. — Stuart J. Russell
