"...There is, despite our wildest imaginings, only one life. The ghostly others, no matter how real they seem, no matter how badly we need them, are phantoms.

Education's purpose is to leave an empty mind,
with an open one.
They don't care how much you know,
until they know much you care.

but to look for heaven, is to live here in hell.
- Sting
