Rarely do we stop and consider whether the most prestigious of institutions is always in our best interest.

People in great institutions are occasionally credulous.

What do we tell our children? Haste makes waste. Look before you leap. Stop and think. Don't judge a book by its cover. We believe that we are always better off gathering as much information as possible and spending as much time as possible in deliberation.

We don't know where our first impressions come from or precisely what they mean, so we don't always appreciate their fragility.

A lot of what is most beautiful about the world arises from struggle.

As a writer, the best mindset is to be unafraid.
