“The process of jury selection theoretically weeds out persons with strong feelings about the case to be tried. The opposite is true in scholarship.”

From Rob Woodhouse
“…To say that confidence comes from an inner desire to succeed, to overcome obstacles, doesn’t work for me. I gained confidence from the support of my peers… You can try to rely on what you have inside, but true confidence comes from the people who will catch you when you fall.”
-Rob Woodhouse
(age 19 – in Milton Magazine)
From Aldous Huxley
“Experience is not a matter of having actually swum the Hellespont, or danced with the dervishes, or slept in a doss-house. It is a matter of sensibility and intuition, of seeing and hearing the significant things, of paying attention at the right moments, of understanding and coordinating. Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.”
Aldous Huxley, from Texts and Pretexts, Introduction (1932)
