“There are moments as a teacher when I'm conscious that I'm trotting out the same exact phrase my professor used with me years ago.

“More truly characteristic of dissent is a dignity, an elevation, of mood and thought and phrase. Deep conviction and warm feeling are saying their last say with knowledge that the cause is lost. The voice of the majority may be that of force triumphant, content with the plaudits of the hour, and recking little of the morrow. The dissenter speaks to the future, and his voice is pitched to a key that will carry through the years.” YearsMayLittlesFeelingsLastsLawLostSpeakForceCausesVoiceHoursKeysDignityMajorityConvictionWarmMoodPhrasesCharacteristicsDissentMorrowTriumphantThrough The YearsElevation Author:Benjamin Cardozo

“I was obsessed with country music when I was a kid, and it's definitely had a huge influence on the way I write songs. I was always attracted to songs that had a brilliant pun or a clever turn of phrase, but came from a dark, bitter place.
