Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.
Oh, the summer night, Has a smile of light, And she sits on a sapphire throne.
The uglier a man's legs are, the better he plays golf - it's almost a law.
Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.
You have to know what you stand for, not just what you stand against.
—Laurie Halse Anderson in Speak
