If my answers frighten you,
then you should cease asking scary questions.

- Jules Winfield (Pulp Fiction)

It's mercy, compassion, and forgiveness I lack; not rationality.
- The Bride (Kill Bill, vol. 1)

The Uncertainty Principle. It proves we can't ever really know...what's going on.
So it shouldn't bother you, not being able to figure anything out.
Although you will be responsible for this on the mid-term.

- Larry Gopnik (A Serious Man)

WRITING ASSIGNMENTS:
One of the few ways I can almost be certain
I'll understand something is by sitting down and
writing about it. Because by forcing yourself
to write about it, and putting it down in words,
you can't avoid having to come to grips with it.
You might be wrong, but you have to think
about it very intensely to write about it.
So I use writing as a learning tool.

- Hunter S. Thompson
