At Berkeley I had my first encounter with real professional scientists.
Robert B. Laughlin
At the very top state institutions, like UCLA, Berkeley and the University of Texas, however, the trend of downward minority enrollment remains persistent and discouraging.
Adam Schiff
Berkeley hackers liked to see themselves as rebels against soulless corporate empires.
Eric S. Raymond
Berkeley had a liberal element in the student body who tended to be quite active. I think that's in general a feature of intellectually active places.
John Searle
Bishop Berkeley destroyed this world in one volume octavo; and nothing remained, after his time, but mind; which experienced a similar fate from the hand of Mr. Hume in 1737.
Sydney Smith
I had hoped to go to law school, but the war started, and because of the strong feeling that I did not want to kill anybody, I joined the Merchant Marine when I graduated from Berkeley.
Douglass North
I liked Berkeley tremendously, Berkeley was a very leftist campus. I came to love that city as much as I love Paris or the south of France or New York.
Whitfield Diffie
I survived only a year in Berkeley, partly because I declined to sign the anticommunist loyalty oath.
Jack Steinberger
I was a grad student at UC Berkeley when I bought my Apple II and it suddenly because a lot more interesting than school.
Andy Hertzfeld
In the mid-'60s in Berkeley, the theory of measure spaces of economic agents became one of my main interests.
Gerard Debreu
My parents are Italian and British. They live in Berkeley now - we all moved there four years ago.
Claire Forlani
One of the reasons I came to Berkeley was because I saw so many students of all different colors speaking so many different languages and ferociously presenting all these different views. I thought, this is the 21st century and I want to be here!
June Jordan
The completion of my undergraduate training at the University of California (Berkeley) provided just the needed touches of rigor at advanced levels in both economics and mathematics.
Lawrence R. Klein
This preparatory sort of idealism is the one that, as I just suggested, Berkeley made prominent, and, after a fashion familiar. I must state it in my own way, although one in vain seeks to attain novelty in illustrating so frequently described a view.
Josiah Royce
When I first started teaching at Berkeley in 1958, I could not announce that I was gay to anybody, though probably quite a few of my fellow teachers knew.
