• Added a quotation: “What happened was, I got the idea in my head - and I could not get it out - that college was just one more dopey, inane place in the world dedicated to piling up treasure on earth and everything.

Sometimes I think that knowledge - when it's knowledge for knowledge's sake, anyway - is the worst of all.”Franny Glass
