I have long been one of those tedious people who rails against the coronation of student-athletes. I have heard the argument that big-time athletics bring in loads of money to universities. I dont believe the money goes anywhere other than back into the sports teams, but thats another story. – Susan Orlean
I wish I had coined the phrase tyranny of choice, but someone beat me to it.

I have no idea how to get in touch with anyone anymore. Everyone, it seems, has a home phone, a cell phone, a regular e-mail account, a Facebook account, a Twitter account, and a Web site. Some of them also have a Google Voice number. There are the sentimental few who still have fax machines. – Susan Orlean
I think that everyone at any age should ask themselves, where do I want to be today, where do I want to be tomorrow, and where do I want to be in a hundred years? We all have clear answers to those questions. We only have so much time. Its a real shame if we dont spend our lives trying to do that. – Jack Antonoff
