Christa is a good friend
she has nice way of living, good ideas,
and she is still sometimes unhappy
all these people, all of them,
but a very very few, stay, fine,

and it feels bad to me
on the streets, around the cars the noise,
the noise,
superfluous.
I really like Rebecca,
a whole lot, a whole lot.
I really like the people I row with in the mornings,
it is good to be with these people, it is good to be with them.
I get to row with shannon and paula, also Kerim, for a long time.

Those things for which the most money
is demanded are never the things which the student most wants.
Tuition, for instance, is an important item in the term bill, while
for the far more valuable education which he gets by associating
with the most cultivated of his contemporaries no charge is made.
"But," says one, "you do not
mean that the students should go to work with their hands instead of
their heads?" I do not mean that exactly, but I mean something which
he might think a good deal like that; I mean that they should not play
life, or study it merely, while the community supports them at this
expensive game, but earnestly live it from beginning to end. How could
youths better learn to live than by at once trying the experiment of
living?
If I wished a boy to know something about the arts and
sciences, for instance, I would not pursue the common course, which is
merely to send him into the neighborhood of some professor, where
anything is professed and practised but the art of life;- to survey
the world through a telescope or a microscope, and never with his
natural eye; to study chemistry, and not learn how his bread is
made, or mechanics, and not learn how it is earned; to discover new
satellites to Neptune, and not detect the motes in his eyes, or to
what vagabond he is a satellite himself; or to be devoured by the
monsters that swarm all around him, while contemplating the monsters
in a drop of vinegar.
Which would have advanced the most at the end of
a month- the boy who had made his own jackknife from the ore which
he had dug and smelted, reading as much as would be necessary for
this- or
But I am wiser than that. I have learned that the
swiftest traveller is he that goes afoot.
