Liberal Arts--Living in the Moment

As knowledge increases, sorrow also increases. Ecclesiastes, chapter 1, verse 18. Life is an instant creation. Luck never favors those who always say no. The purpose of the novel is to overcome loneliness. But on the other hand, you spend most of your time reading a 1,100+ page book that might affect your social life. One of the things I love most about this school is that it feels like anything is possible, as if there are limitless options in front of you. Anything can happen after leaving school. When you do leave school, life begins. Do you understand? A choice has to be made, and then all the choices that were in front of you are gone. Sometimes you just have to think, "Hey, this is the reality." Then it gets a little frustrated about it.

Guilt before action is called morality. Do you think this place is like a prison? Yes, any place you can't leave is a prison. Don't be a genius who dies young; die when you get old. Getting old is a great thing. Getting old and dying is so much better. Listen to me, buddy. Everything you're feeling right now is just a footnote. Understand? You will graduate, then enter society, do what you love, and realize your worth. Some days are still good. Some days are like a gift, some days are disgusting, but everything will be fine. So I'm going to take you out of postmodernism.

What instructions do you have? There are some books about vampires that kids love. Trust me, they will absolutely brainwash you. ( In the beginning, Jesse opposed the books Elizabeth read, and then finally realized how important it is to live in the moment. People of any age can read whatever books they want and do things. Don’t rush and don’t run away. There is beauty in being young. Growing up is also wonderful. Getting old is also a wonderful thing.

    Why does the girl control the uncle? The answer is here. A middle-aged uncle who doesn't want to grow up, a young girl who just went to school and envy of adulthood, a professor who just retired and doesn't have time for leisure... Intertwined is the whole life. It's beautiful and artistic, age is the truth of love after all, we all need to grow up like a fool, and then return to our own world, don't we?

    I just like school, I am liberal arts... I am old

Liberal Arts quotes

  • Zibby: [about vampire novel] I liked it. It was fun and stupid. And it passed the time. And it's not Tolstoy, but it's also not television. And it made me happy. Now you...

    Jesse Fisher: Thank you... This - is the worst book - ever - written - in English.

    Zibby: So there are worse books written in other languages?

    Jesse Fisher: Probably not. Unless this book is translated into other languages.

  • Prof. Peter Hoberg: You know how old I am?

    Jesse Fisher: No, how old are you?

    Prof. Peter Hoberg: It's none of your goddamn business. Do you know how old I feel like I am?

    Jesse Fisher: [shrugs]

    Prof. Peter Hoberg: 19. Since I was 19, I have never felt not 19. But I shave my face, and I look in the mirror, and I'm forced to say, "This is not a 19-year-old staring back at me."

    [sighs]

    Prof. Peter Hoberg: Teaching here all these years, I've had to be very clear with myself, that even when I'm surrounded by 19-year-olds, and I may have felt 19, I'm not 19 anymore. You follow me?

    Jesse Fisher: Yeah.

    Prof. Peter Hoberg: Nobody feels like an adult. It's the world's dirty secret.
