Well, if you read “Where do I come from?”—recommended widely by pediatricians—you would have been introduced to the basics of sexual reproduction that have allowed our species to survive for millions of years. But, let??s be honest, sex is about more than procreation, and emotions are always, inevitably, involved. Whatever you do with regards to sex, make sure you treat others with integrity and respect...
While I have little doubt that extending Hilles’ hours would serve some Quadlings well, the fuss made by the would-be library revolutionaries was totally gratuitous and, let??s face it, pretty annoying. Between House libraries and an all-night Lamont, there should be no shortage of places for Quad residents to study, to say nothing of the Quad’s remarkable horde of common rooms.

Much like Victorian chimney-sweeps, the poor, hard-working non-socialites of Harvard claim to be oppressed...
...pokes at the three new, massive anthologies of his work, even during an interview intended to promote them—noting that they exclude many of his favorite articles. “If a book’s going to be heavy, it can be a little heavier. Let??s face it, there are some heavy doors, and if you’re going to have a doorstop, you might as well have the heaviest.” Nor is he beyond lambasting his own writing. “I criticize my own sentences...
