“I feel like 'Gossip Girl' isn't really 'Gossip Girl' anymore when they're away at school because they don't go to NYU; they go to, like, Yale and Brown. New York City is just as much a character as anyone else in the books, and I was really sort of reluctant to show them off in their separate college worlds.” WorldFeelsBookCharacterShowsSchoolGirlCitiesNew YorkCollegeBrownGossipNew York CityReluctantYaleNyuGossip Girl Author:Cecily von Ziegesar
“A Fraternity, too, is of such character that after men have left college they delight to renew their own youth by continued association with it and to bring their richest experiences back to the younger generation in part payment of the debt which they feel themselves owe to the fraternity for what it gave them in their formative years.” MenFeelsYearsCharacterLeftGenerationsYouthCollegeDelightDebtAssociationPaymentFraternityYounger GenerationFormative Years Author:Newton D.

“We must remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character--that is the goal of true education. The complete education gives one not only power of concentration, but worthy objectives upon which to concentrate. The broad education will, therefore, transmit to one not only the accumulated knowledge of the race but also the accumulated experience of social living. If we are not careful, our colleges will produce a group of close-minded, unscientific, illogical propagandists, consumed with immoral acts. Be careful, brethren! Be careful, teachers!” IfsGivingEnoughCharacterRememberSocialGoalRaceTeacherGroupsProduceCollegeCarefulWorthyObjectivesConcentrationPlusBroadsBe CarefulImmoralConsumedBrethrenTransmitIllogicalTrue EducationPropagandistClose Minded Book:The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr Source: The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr
“In the sixties, in the middle sixties, suddenly comics became this hip thing, and college students and hippies were reading them.

“It was only when I started making short films in college and I was looking for girls to play the me-ish parts that I thought, Well, maybe I'm just going to try doing this myself before somebody else comes in and handles it.

“As long as I'm dealing in honesty, I may as well admit that I have been more influenced (as a person) by my childhood readings of Tolkien and Lewis than I have been by any philosophers I read in college and grad school.

“I do like the idea of the novel of repressed college students being a contemporary novel of courtship! I guess what I would say to that is, we tend to think of historical periods and historical mores as ending a lot more concretely than they do. Like, in an Austen novel, there are lots of reasons - cultural, moral, religious - why the characters don't have sex during courtship. Maybe, even though those reasons have kind of expired, historically, they're still around in some sense.” ThinkingKindStillsIdeasReasonCharacterSexReligiousMoralNovelStudentsCollegePeriodsHistoricalContemporaryCourtshipRepressedAustenCollege StudentsExpired Author:Elif Batuman
