Quote of the Moment

“If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that”-Goethe

"We're deathly afraid of that stabbing word "pretentious," the word that students use to curse each other's ambition. It's a young person's word, a shortcut-to-thinking word.

I'm a big fan of pretension. It means "an aspiration or intention
that may or may not reach fulfillment." It doesn't mean
failing upward. It means trying to exceed your grasp. Which
is how things grow." - Warren Ellis
