Hi everyone,
Here are the quotes we used in class today to get you start thinking about your paper topics. Remember you don't want to argue any of the specifics of these quotes, but use them to help you consider questions that might eventually become your claim. Have a great weekend
o “College is like a fountain of knowledge - and the students are there to drink”
o “If you tell folks you're a college student, folks are so impressed. You can be a student in anything and not have to know anything. Just say toxicology or marine biokinesis, and the person you're talking to will change the subject to himself. If this doesn't work, mention the neural synapses of embryonic pigeons.”
~ Chuck Palahniuk
o “College is a refuge from hasty judgment. ~Robert Frost
o “A telephone survey says that 51 percent of college students drink until they pass out at least once a month. The other 49 percent didn't answer the phone.” ~Craig Kilborn
o “It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks.” ~Albert Einstein
o“If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.” ~ Frank Zappa
o“The most conservative persons I ever met are college undergraduates. The radicals are the men past middle life.” ~ Woodrow T. Wilson
o“I am often amazed at how much more capability and enthusiasm for science there is among elementary school youngsters than among college students.”~ Dr. Carl Sagan
