Aca Quotes

L.A. is a vortex. The weather there tricks you into thinking you’re on vacation, even when you’re working fourteen hours a day Picture Quote #1

When you see yourself on video, you and your friends spending time on vacation, and they take a video, and then you see it, it’s really disturbing Picture Quote #1

I enjoyed school, I was a bit of a square. I did very well in exams. I was quite lucky I was academic Picture Quote #1

My lab and academic work fill my day from about 9 am to 7 p.m. Then I zoom out the lens to work on my other writing Picture Quote #1

If history, philosophy and so on vanish from academic life, what they leave in their wake may be a technical training facility or corporate research institute. But it will not be a university in the classical sense of the term, and it would be deceptive to call it one Picture Quote #1

I can safely say that other than macaroni and cheese, there’s no processed food in my life. There’s no inorganic food in my life these days. There’s no junk food. There’s not a lot of sugar. There’s no soy. I mean, really everything that’s going into my body is pretty pure Picture Quote #1

I have a different starting premise from those 100 academics who are so heavily invested in the regime of low expectations and narrow horizons which they have created Picture Quote #1

Faith, family, academics and then sports was the order of priorities in my family. My parents really stuck to these principles when raising me and my two brothers. As long as we took care of everything, they let us play as much basketball as we wanted Picture Quote #1

The most experience I had in the criminology field is playing a thug as an actor. That was my first paid job. The police academy at the college was paying people to reenact the calls that potential cops would get. So I got to play thugs and people who were unruly Picture Quote #1

I’m an anarchist. I’m implacably opposed to heirarchical systems of power and control. I also mistrust crowds, as they often operate according to their lowest common denominator. In terms of evolutionary psychology, the crowd is very close to a herd of stampeding wildebeest Picture Quote #1

I find it hilarious that there are academics who try to analyse chemical changes in the brains of students while exposing them to gags Picture Quote #1

When I vacate this sack of old bones I won’t care what you do with it. Bury or burn it but don’t make much fuss Picture Quote #1

I enjoy going out by myself... always have, always will. I don’t have security guards, and, for the most part, I enjoy meeting new people. I see myself as a regular guy who likes playing video games with his nieces and nephews and poker with his family. I don’t have an art collection or take exotic vacations. I enjoy being at home Picture Quote #1

Life without music is unthinkable. Life without music is academic. That is why my contact with music is a total embrace Picture Quote #1

I have people in my life, of course. Some write; some don’t. Some read; some don’t. Some stare vacantly into space when I talk the geeky talk and walk the geeky walk, but they make killer chocolate chip pancakes and so all is forgiven Picture Quote #1

In the end, coming to faith remains for all a sense of homecoming, of picking up the threads of a lost life, of responding to a bell that had long been ringing, of taking a place at a table that had long been vacant Picture Quote #1

Illness reduces man to his basic state: a cloaca in which the chemical processes continue. The meaningless hegemony of the involuntary Picture Quote #1

Still, I look down, and the grass is so green, I cannot understand how it does not wither and die with sorrow. But against the emerald carpet, the warriors make war, and it is like a dance, almost beautiful, always macabre. The noise brings me back, the fearsome noise of swords striking swords, a metallic clanging that rings in my ears, echoing and echoing the fearsome din of men screaming and crying as they meet the sharp ends of blades Picture Quote #1

I laced my shoes with sorrow and walked a weary road dead end streets don’t come undone with double knots wing tipped shoes that walk on air through vacant lots Picture Quote #1

The family is always the family but during vacations it is an extended family and that is exhausting Picture Quote #1

Most people feel best about their work the week before their vacation, but it’s not because of the vacation itself. What do you do the last week before you leave on a big trip? You clean up, close up, clarify, and renegotiate all your agreements with yourself and others. I just suggest that you do this weekly instead of yearly Picture Quote #1

Nature designed with a random set of genes and circumstances in which we were born. To be happy, we have to accept it and make the most of nature’s design. Are you? Goals will help you do that. I must add, don’t just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order Picture Quote #1

My confidence was of the hothouse variety, carefully cultivated under highly regulated conditions. One wrong look, one mean comment, and my facade would wither Picture Quote #1

You know what it’s like. Sometimes, you meet a wonderful person, but it’s only for a brief instant. Maybe on vacation or on a train or maybe even in a bus line. And they touch your life for a moment, but in a special way. And instead of mourning because they can’t be with you for longer, or because you don’t get the chance to know them better, isn’t it better to be glad that you met them at all? Picture Quote #1

I wonder whether there is such a thing as a sense of individuality. Is it all a facade, covering a deep need to belong? Are we simply pack animals desperately trying to pretend we are not? Picture Quote #1

I don’t know if this makes me a bad person or whatever, but it’s hard for me to get interested in other people’s vacations Picture Quote #1

Cacao has great nutritional value, a lot of protein, which strengthens a person, and without sugar it is not fattening Picture Quote #1

Recovering from a gunshot wound is not a vacation. You need to, like, write that on your hand or something Picture Quote #1

The truth has not so much set us free as it has ripped away a carefully constructed facade, leaving us naked to begin again Picture Quote #1

My father thought I would lead a simple life; that I was bright but unambitious, complacant with whatever work life threw at me. My father, as usual, was wrong Picture Quote #1
