William Deresiewicz
“Don't try to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life. You are going to be a very different person in two or three years, and that person will have his own ideas. All you can really figure out is what you want to do right now.”
William Deresiewicz

William Deresiewicz
“But there is something that’s a great deal more important than parental approval: learning to do without it. That’s what it means to become an adult.”
William Deresiewicz, Excellent Sheep: The Miseducation of the American Elite and the Way to a Meaningful Life

Kahlil Gibran
“A Great Man Has Two Hearts.
One Bleeds And The Other Forbears.”
Kahlil Gibran

Mikhail Bakunin
“We are convinced that liberty without socialism is privilege, injustice; and that socialism without liberty is slavery and brutality.”
Mikhail Bakunin

William Deresiewicz
“I have heard from many high-achieving students who have asked me whether it wasn’t possible to be invested both in learning for its own sake and in being at the top. No, I’ve said, it isn’t possible. Learning for its own sake means exactly what it says: learning is the only reason that you’re doing it, because learning is what matters.”
William Deresiewicz, Excellent Sheep: The Miseducation of the American Elite and the Way to a Meaningful Life
