“Elite students climb confidently until they reach a level of competition sufficiently intense to beat their dreams out of them. Higher education is the place where people who had big plans in high school get stuck in fierce rivalries with equally smart peers over conventional careers like management consulting and investment banking.

Why are we doing this to ourselves?”

“One day you will wake up & there won’t be any more time to do the things you’ve always wanted. Do it now.”

“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”
