And then governing comes. And governing is tedious and it's difficult an it's time-consuming and it demands your attention. And policy isn't vague generalities. It's specifics and it's based on knowledge.”

“Campus
Shirt sleeves half out of the jeans,
Eyes grounding the green while looking
All around for Christmas nights.
Blue sounds of church bells ringing
On morning streets and alleys
Are rewritten in archways beneath.
The campus is clear of recitation,
And the steps lead to none other than doors
That keep opening to New Year’s hope.”

“Camus-boy, you're always going to be the same you, just older. It's not like there's a moment when you wake up and go, Shit, I'm grown-up, I don't feel like myself anymore.'
I don't tell him, but this is the scariest fucking thing I've ever heard in my life. Being grown-up should feel like a big transition. It can't be something that, despite my best efforts, I've been drifting closer and closer to every summer. It needs to be a shock. I need to know at what point to stop holding on. And that moment will suck, and probably every moment after that will suck, but at least I'll know that everything that came before really was valid. I really was young and innocent. I wasn't fooling myself.”
