“Of course, too, I knew for certain when I was your age that I’d never be forced to teach, that if my muses failed to provide for me, I’d go grind lenses somewhere, like Booker T. Washington. In any particular sense, though, I don’t think I have any academic regrets. On especially black days I sometimes tell myself if I had loaded up with degrees when I was able, I might not now be teaching anything quite so collegiate and hopeless as Advanced Writing 24-A.” ~J. D. Salinger, Franny and Zooey
“I know this is weird because we work together and because possibly up until now I’ve repulsed you, but I like you.” ~Andy, The Office

“…I know that many would not believe me to be a shy person but the truth is I am very shy sometimes and have been this way since I can remember. I do believe that shy people don’t ever get over their shyness completely. The either stay shy all of their lives, or find ways of dealing with this shyness. They find the buttons to press that allow them to act like outgoing people, even though inside they may still be rather nervous and shy. This is the way I live my life. Many times People have thought me to be a superficial or shallow person, but the truth is I am often only able to talk to others or perform in front of others by creating an animated version of myself that has absolutely no problem being extroverted. It also helps shyness to admit being shy. Publicly. Once. And then move on to the best of your ability. It also helps that I’m an obnoxious person at heart; sometimes having strong opinions allows you to overcome shyness.” ~Matt Bivins
