Far better is it to know everything of a little than a little of everything.

Pickering

The human heart is a strange vessel. Love and hatred can exist side by side.

Scott Westerfeld

Parting is all we know of heaven and all we need of hell.

Emily Dickinson

Zach Braff

I'm sure there were times when I wish I had thought, 'Gosh, that might really embarrass mom and dad,' but our parents didn't raise us to think about them. They're very selfless and they wanted us to have as normal of a college life as possible. So really, we didn't think of any repercussions.
