• And they beat. The women for having known them and no more, no more; the children for having been them but never again. They killed a boss so often and so completely they had to bring him back to life to pulp him one more time. Tasting hot mealcake among pine trees, they beat it away. Singing love songs to Mr. Death, they smashed his head. More than the rest, they killed the flirt whom folks called Life for leading them on.

  Toni Morrison

• Students are too busy jumping through the next hurdle in the résumé race to figure out what they really want.

They have been inculcated with a lust for prestige and a fear of doing things that may put their status at risk.

• If an artist may say nothing except what he has invented by his own sole efforts, it stands to reason he will be poor in ideas.

• [Vestiges begins] from principles which are at variance with all sober inductive truth. The sober facts of geology shuffled, so as to play a rogue's game; phrenology (that sinkhole of human folly and prating coxcombry); spontaneous generation; transmutation of species; and I know not what; all to be swallowed, without tasting and trying, like so much horse-physic!!
