“I'm very proud that some people think that I'm a danger for the intellectual health of students. When people start thinking of health in intellectual activities, I think there is something wrong.

“Genius! thou gift of Heav'n! thou Light divine! Amid what dangers art thou doom'd to shine! Oft will the body's weakness check thy force, Oft damp thy Vigour, and impede thy course; And trembling nerves compel thee to restrain Thy noble efforts, to contend with pain; Or Want (sad guest!) will in thy presence come, And breathe around her melancholy gloom: To Life's low cares will thy proud thought confine, And make her sufferings, her impatience, thine.” WantArtBodyLightCarePainSufferingCoursesForceEffortDangerDivineProudGeniusLowsWeaknessShiningBreatheNobleChecksTheeMelancholyNervesGuestsDoomImpatienceGloomTremblingDamp Book:Tales Source: Tales
