Academics Quotes

“If you want to find the real competition, just look in the mirror. After awhile you'll see your rivals scrambling for second place.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

“The true reader reads every work seriously in the sense that he reads it whole-heartedly, makes himself as receptive as he can. But for that very reason he cannot possibly read every work solemly or gravely. For he will read 'in the same spirit that the author writ.'... He will never commit the error of trying to munch whipped cream as if it were venison.”
― C.S. Lewis, An Experiment in Criticism

“The four most influential moderns: Darwin, Marx, Freud, and (the productive) Einstein were scholars but not academics. It has always been hard to do genuine - and no perishable - work within institutions”
― Nassim Nicholas Taleb

“Buffett found it 'extraordinary' that academics studied such things. They studied what was measurable, rather than what was meaningful. 'As a friend [Charlie Munger] said, to a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”
― Roger Lowenstein, Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist

“I am successful because of my brains and my guts, put together, and I don't need some fancy-ass degree from a bunch of sweater-vest-wearing pricks who haven't gotten laid since Bush Senior was president... Do you know who studies sociology? People who would rather observe life than live it.”
― Erin McCarthy, Hard and Fast

“Schooling that children are forced to endure—in which the subject matter is imposed by others and the “learning” is motivated by extrinsic rewards and punishments rather than by the children’s true interests—turns learning from a joyful activity into a chore, to be avoided whenever possible. Coercive schooling, which tragically is the norm in our society, suppresses curiosity and overrides children’s natural ways of learning. It also promotes anxiety, depression and feelings of helplessness that all too often reach pathological levels.”
― Peter O. Gray

― Amit Kalantri, Wealth of Words

“There's no crying in the rank book.”
― William Morton

“... I succeeded at math, at least by the usual evaluation criteria: grades. Yet while I might have earned top marks in geometry and algebra, I was merely following memorized rules, plugging in numbers and dutifully crunching out answers by rote, with no real grasp of the significance of what I was doing or its usefulness in solving real-world problems. Worse, I knew the depth of my own ignorance, and I lived in fear that my lack of comprehension would be discovered and I would be exposed as an academic fraud -- psychologists call this "imposter syndrome".”
― Jennifer Ouellette, The Calculus Diaries: How Math Can Help You Lose Weight, Win in Vegas, and Survive a Zombie Apocalypse

― Daniel Amory, Minor Snobs

“This irritated or puzzled such students of literature and their professors as were accustomed to ‘serious’ courses replete with ‘trends ’ and ‘schools ’ and ‘myths ’ and ‘symbols ’ and ‘social comment ’ and something unspeakably spooky called ‘climate of thought.’ Actually these ‘serious’ courses were quite easy ones with the students required to know not the books but about the books.”
― Vladimir Nabokov

“The rites of passage in the academic world are arcane and, in their own way, highly romantic, and the tensions and unplesantries of dissertations and final oral examinations are quickly forgotten in the wonderful moment of the sherry afterward, admission into a very old club, parties of celebration, doctoral gowns, academic rituals, and hearing for the first time "Dr.," rather than "Miss" Jamison.”
― Kay Redfield Jamison, An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness

“I had good intentions once upon a time. Well, September.”
― Claire Hennessy, Big Picture

I was procrastinating, yet I still wanted to be diligent and academically edified.”
― Lucy Carter, For the Intellect

“By convention,
I have been taught to
isolate the variables
on the left side and
the constants on the right

But you still have that characteristic
freewill of wallowing in the abstraction
of algebra

You could also isolate the variables
on the right side and
the constants on the left.”
― Lucy Carter, For the Intellect

“Subjects such as history have less of that problem solving relationship. Because history is driven by human nature, one cannot merely hypothesize what happened; one must, unfortunately, resort to memorization. To analyze history, one must memorize a fact, but STEM enables students to analyze the logic behind a STEM occurrence or phenomenon throughout. STEM is a subject of problem solving. STEM is problem solving.”
― Lucy Carter, For the Intellect

“...and everyone discovers that people are not maximizing utility... they're murdering each other... and so then the Geopolitics gets let back in.”
― Stephen Kotkin

“El pop es demasiado joven y solo cuando uno de sus géneros o estilos deja de mutar y evolucionar para convertirse en una fórmula nostálgica, (...) como una esencia que hay que preservar de la misma manera en la que el arte clásico se reverencia en los museos, (...) podemos describirlo con claridad”
― Juan Carlos Fernández Serrato, Hacia una teoría del pop

“⚠️ Important Warning for Students About Devellux Inc’s Essay Websites

Most students think they’re choosing between independent essay-writing companies when they visit EssayPro, EssayHub, PaperWriter, DoMyEssay, WritePaper, Studyfy, or EssayService.
But after reviewing their systems, writer profiles, dashboards, and technical behavior, one fact becomes clear:

All these websites are operated by the same company — Devellux Inc.

This isn’t “shared ownership.”
It’s a coordinated multi-site funnel designed to look like different services while using:

the same writers,

the same dashboards,

the same backend,

the same customer database,

and the same bidding/order system.

If you sign up on one site, the others will recognize your email instantly — because you're already in their shared system. Switching between these brands doesn’t give you a safer or better option. It just sends you back to the same internal network under a different logo.

Why This Is a Red Flag

When one company pretends to be many brands:

You lose the ability to compare real alternatives.

You get trapped in a closed ecosystem with identical policies, writers, and pricing.

Your personal info may circulate across the entire network.

Refunds, complaints, and disputes remain controlled by the same operator.

You risk plagiarism, low-quality writing, AI-generated essays, or missed deadlines — with no real accountability.

This kind of hidden network is a classic tactic used to dominate Google, block competition, and mislead students into thinking they have choices when they don’t.

Helpful Advice for Students

If you’re looking for academic help, avoid networks that hide behind multiple brands. Instead:

Look for companies that clearly disclose ownership.

Check whether writer profiles appear on multiple websites (a major red flag).

Use plagiarism detectors before submission — even if the company claims “original work.”

Avoid services that force you to create accounts across multiple cloned dashboards.

Prefer tutoring or editing support rather than full ghostwriting — which can lead to academic consequences.

Always read refund policies carefully; many essay mills use intentionally vague terms.

Bottom Line

EssayPro, EssayHub, PaperWriter, DoMyEssay, WritePaper, Studyfy, and EssayService all lead back to one operator — Devellux Inc.
The different names are just storefronts feeding the same system. Students deserve transparency, not seven identical services pretending to compete with each other.

Stay cautious. Protect your data. And choose services that are honest about who’s actually behind the website.”
