Faust, in her first interview after being selected, talked about her life long dream to head Harvard:
"I'd have given my soul for an opportunity like this! (laughs) Fortunately, nobody could really go to those extremes, now could they?"

In a separate interview, Lawrence Summers reflected on his tenure as president:
"It was as if I were not in control of my own tongue. These words would come out of my mouth and I had no way to stop them. If I lived in a different age, I might think the Devil made me do it!"

Yes, people have said that, if Drew Faust doesn't work out, they're already planning to use the phrase "Faustian bargain."

Awesome.
